## ANSWER

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

(a) to (c): No, Madam. There is no such proposal to engage private godowns in Food Processing Sector. However, Government is implementing a Central Sector Scheme PRADHAN MANTRI KISAN SAMPADA YOJANA - (PMKSY) The various schemes implemented under PMKSY are (i)  Mega  Food  Parks  ;  (ii)  Integrated  Cold  Chain  and  Value  Addition  Infrastructure;  (iii) Creation/Expansion  of  Food  Processing  &  Preservation  Capacities;  (iv)  Infrastructure  for  Agroprocessing Clusters; (v) Creation of Backward and Forward Linkages; (vi) Food Safety and Quality Assurance Infrastructure and (vii) Human Resources and Institutions.

PMKSY is  a  comprehensive  package  resulting  in  creation  of  modern  infrastructure  with efficient supply chain management from farm gate to retail outlet. Not only it provides a big boost to  the  growth  of  food processing sector in the country but also help in providing better prices to farmers  and  is  a  big  step  towards  doubling  of  farmers  income,  creating  huge  employment opportunities especially in the rural areas, reducing wastage of agricultural produce, increasing the processing level and enhancing the export of the processed foods.

The Mega Food Park Scheme (MFPS) aims at providing modern infrastructure facilities for food processing along the value chain from farm to market. The Scheme functions on a Hub and spoke model. It includes creation of Infrastructure for primary processing and storage near the farm gate  at  Primary  Processing  Centers  (PPCs),  Collection  Centres  (CCs)  and  common  facilities  and enabling infrastructure at Central Processing Centre. The food processing units, under the scheme, would  be  located  at  Central  Processing  Centre  (CPC)  with  need  based  common  infrastructure required  for  processing,  packaging,  environmental  protection  systems,  quality  control  labs,  trade facilitation centres, etc.
