Mumbai: Jain Irrigation Systems Ltd, Asia’s largest irrigation equipment maker, will sell its food business unit to its subsidiary to create strategic focus on the fast-growing food business.

The company’s board has also formed a sub-committee comprising three directors to take all decisions regarding the transaction referred above.
