Results show that the activities have been in line with achieving the anticipated objectives of the programmes, although they are still some distance away in terms of utilizing maximum capacities. The program has had an undeniable impact on the reduction of rural poverty through employment and income generation in rural areas. This research reflects the increasing growth trend of food industries, wich have, by nature, the greatest reliane on the agriculture sector and on rural areas. Compared to other production groups, food industries have also enjoyed noteworthy prosperity and an acceptable growth trend.
