## ANSWER

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

(a) & (b): Government is implementing the Central Sector Scheme PRADHAN MANTRI KISAN  SAMPADA  YOJANA  (PMKSY) with  an  allocation  of  Rs.6,000  crore  for  the period  2016-20  coterminous  with  the  14 th Finance  Commission  cycle  for  promotion  and development of food processing sector in the country.

The following schemes are implemented under PMKSY:

- (i) Mega Food Parks;
- (ii) Integrated Cold Chain and Value Addition Infrastructure;
- (iii) Creation/Expansion of Food Processing & Preservation Capacities;
- (iv) Infrastructure for Agro-processing Clusters;
- (v) Creation of Backward and Forward Linkages;
- (vi) Food Safety and Quality Assurance Infrastructure; and
- (vii) Human Resources and Institutions.

PMKSY is a big step towards doubling of farmers income, providing better prices to farmers,  creating  huge  employment  opportunities  especially  in  the  rural  areas.  It  is  a comprehensive  package  for  creation  of  modern  infrastructure  with  efficient  supply  chain management from farm gate to retail outlet.  Besides providing a big boost to the growth of food processing sector in the country, it also help in reducing wastage of agricultural produce, increasing  the  processing  level,  enhancing  the  export  of  the  processed  foods,  enabling availability of hygienic and nutritious food to consumers at affordable price.

PMKSY is aiming at leveraging investment of Rs.31400 crore, handling of 334 lakh MT agro-produce valuing Rs.1,04,125 crore, benefit 20 lakh farmers and generate 5,30,500 direct/ indirect employment in the country by the year 2019-20.

(c):  The Ministry of Food Processing Industries does not set up any Food Processing Project in any part of the country on its own.  The details of food processing projects in Gujarat State assisted under the various schemes of the Ministry is given at Annexure .
