Food Production is a department that is involved in the preparation of food. A process, in which raw materials are cooked, combined, and transformed to make a dish. The scope of Food Production has been widening at a faster pace in India as well as Abroad.

Education plays a critical role in this profession. A diploma is essential, but a degree course is better. Because with a BSc in hospitality course you can bypass the Commie stages and join as a kitchen management trainee (KMT) and start cooking, thus saving three or four years of the grind. Food Production graduates are absorbed as KMTs and train for almost two years before becoming Chef de Partie, the stage after Commie 1.
