Globally, the frozen food industry is expanding rapidly due to a confluence of factors like increasing tourism and the subsequent rise of QSRs, growing nuclear families, the rise of dual-income households, increasing job pressures, and dynamic eating habits of modern youth. The convenience and ease of eating food nurtured by ready-to-eat/cook products have positively compelled people to stick to frozen food products worldwide. Within this segment, India is emerging as the key supplier, meeting global demands for frozen food across Southeast Asia, America, and the Middle East.

Despite significant growth opportunities, the industry faces challenges posed by price volatility, maintenance of cold chains, visibility, and irregular availability. Additionally, substandard products in the market are another challenge that spoils and annihilates the consumer’s edible experience. To address such challenges, Pal Frozen Foods, a Haldwani-based frozen foods company, proactively participates in food exhibitions to enhance brand awareness and demonstrate the freshness, superior quality, texture, and taste of its products, which sets the company as a consumer-committed organization.

Range of Products

Founded in 2013, Pal Frozen Foods specializes in planning, processing, and producing high-quality frozen fruits and vegetables under its brand name ‘Pal Fresh’. Leveraging its state-of-the-art frozen food plant in Haldwani and homegrown supplies of fresh raw material, the company delivers best-in-class frozen products to consumers and partners worldwide.

"Our company operates on advanced IQF technology, offering an efficient way to produce high-quality frozen foods while preserving their freshness, texture, flavor, and nutritional value, with utmost care. Alongside sustainable packaging, we incorporate great visuals, unique logos, and graphics on the packages, which attract the customers immensely. Our frozen food products are carefully packed in high-quality seals so that they remain protected from the outside environment, and hence the products are delivered safely through our cold chain logistics support to the consumer. Additionally, our supply chain management systems have improved substantially and drastically, which carries a positive impact on the quality of our frozen food products being produced," shares Prateek Pal, Director.

Advancing with Technology

Beyond its cutting-edge setup, the firm also boasts a team of skilled, experienced, engaged, and devoted professionals who excel in both production and cultivation through contract farming. In addition to focusing on its line of frozen food products and optimizing processes that help in increasing efficiency and product quality, the company also focuses on contract farming processes. Contract farming, which plays a pivotal role in combating global warming by preserving agricultural land, is highly promoted by the firm, motivating farmers to enhance crop yield and quality, improve harvesting techniques, and adopt climate-friendly practices.

“We grow our own vegetables by contract farming; Pal Frozen Foods ensures quality, dependable, and standardized harvest as a quality input in required volume for our customer's desired experience. Through contract farming, efficient resource utilization, including water, fertilizers, and more, is promoted. By collaborating with farmers, Pal Frozen Foods aims to address challenges and scale up climate-friendly practices across agricultural supply chains. Additionally, providing education and training programs for farmers to adopt climate-smart practices further strengthens these efforts, which is done by our team of agronomists,” further shares Deepak Farswan, GM Sales & Operations.

Moving to its manufacturing processes, the company has a robust quality assurance system in place, which enables it to effortlessly control every step of the processing phase, guaranteeing high-quality at every level.
