## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRIES (SADHVI NIRANJAN JYOTI)

(a) &  (b)  : Currently,  there  is  no  such  scheme  in  the  Ministry  of  Food  Processing Industries. However, Under the Scheme for Technology Upgradation/Establishment/Modernization  of  Food  Processing  Industries  implemented  by  the Ministry of Food Processing Industries(MOFPI) during 11 th Plan,  financial assistance has been provided in the form of Grant-in-aid to eligible entrepreneurs in the country for setting up of new food  processing  units  as  well  as  technological  upgradation  and  expansion  of  existing  food processing units.

This  scheme  was  subsequently  subsumed  in  the  Centrally  Sponsored  Scheme  (CSS)National  Mission  on  Food  Processing  (NMFP)  with  effect  from  01.04.2012  till  31.03.2015. Thereafter, the said scheme got delinked from Government of India's assistance and it was left to  the  State  Governments  to  decide  on  its  continuance  from  their  increased  resources  as  per recommendations  of  14 th Financial  Commission.    The  committed/spillover  liabilities  of  cases received upto end of 11 th Plan are being considered by Ministry of Food Processing Industries for  sanction  of  Grant-in-aid  during  the  12 th Plan  under  the  said  scheme  as  per  availability  of funds and merits of proposals. The details of Food Processing Industries assisted in the country including  Karnataka  during  last  three  years  and  current  year  as  part  of  meeting  committed liabilities of 11th Plan are at Annexure .

(c) & (d): Since there is no such scheme at present, the question of seeking foreign funding for the same does not arise. However, foreign direct investment (FDI) equity inflows received in the food processing sector in the country since 2010-11 are as under:

| Year (April-March)                                    | FDI Equity inflows (US $ Million)                     |
