Biscuits

One of our favorite visits this trip was to a biscuit factory in Akola.  Indians love their biscuits.  They are always put out for guests and everyone usually has a few with their chai (which they take several times daily). Indian biscuit consumption is estimated at 3 million metric tons per year.
We visited a Wonder biscuit manufacturing facility in Akola owned by local Rotarian Rajesh Agrawal.  He gave us a great tour of the production process including everything from the raw ingredients to the packaging and shipping.  We even got to enjoy warm biscuits fresh off the belt. The entire factory had a great smell as they were making coconut biscuits at the time. Here are some pics of the biscuit production...
