## ANSWER

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

(a)&(b): The Ministry of Food Processing Industries has been implementing various Schemes for promotion and development of  food processing  sector in the country. The Ministry  of Food Processing Industries has re-structured its schemes under a new Central Sector Scheme 'KISAN SAMPADA YOJANA' having seven components viz. (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.  The KISAN SAMPADA YOJANA has been approved with an allocation of Rs.6000 crore for the period 2016-20 coterminous with the 14 th Finance Commission cycle to promote food processing in the country. The Farmers, Farmers Producers Organizations, Entrepreneurs, Co-operative Societies, Self Help Groups, Private Companies and State PSUs etc. are eligible to avail financial assistance under these schemes for setting up food processing projects in the Country.

(c) to (e) :  The schemes of the Ministry are project oriented applicable throughout the country and  not  State/  location  specific.   Proposals  under  the  Schemes  are  invited  by  the  Ministry  of Food Processing Industries through 'Expression  of Interest.' The Schemes provide  freedom to the  promoters  to  choose  the  project  location  based  on  availability  of  raw  material,  techno  economic feasibility and viability of the project.  The Government has approved setting up of 41 Mega Food Projects and 236 Cold Chain projects in the country including 3 Mega Food Parks and 10 Cold Chain and Value Addition Infrastructure Projects in Madhya Pradesh. State-wise list of  Mega  Food  Parks  and  Integrated  Cold  Chain  and  Value  Addition  Infrastructure  projects sanctioned  by  the  Ministry  in  the  country  is  at  Annexure.  The  Scheme  for  Technology  Upgradation/ Establishment/ Modernization of Food Processing Industries which was implemented by  the  Ministry during  11 th Five  Year  Plan  upto  31.03.2012  was  subsumed  in  Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) - National Mission on Food Processing (NMFP) during 12 th Plan for implementation through State/ UT Governments w.e.f. 01.04.2012. However, the CSS - NMFP has been delinked from Central Government support from 2015-16.  Presently, the Ministry is liquidating the committed liabilities of the Scheme of 11 th Five Year Plan of this scheme.
