## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRIES (SHRI RAMESWAR TELI)

(a) to  (d): The Ministry of Food Processing industries (MoFPI) is implementing a Central Sector umbrella  scheme  Pradhan  Mantri  Kisan  SAMPADA  Yojana  (PMKSY)  for  overall  growth  and development of food processing sector with an outlay of Rs. 6000 Crore for the period 2016-17 to 2019-20.  The  period  has  since  been  extended  to  2020-21.  An  additional  component  scheme "Operation Green (OG)" was introduced in PMKSY in November, 2018 with an outlay of Rs 500 Crores. PMKSY is not a region or state specific scheme and is demand driven with no state-wise fund allocation. The status of projects approved for creation of preservation/ processing capacity under component schemes of PMKSY during the past three years and current year is placed at AnnexureI .

MoFPI has approved one Agro Processing Cluster, one Creation of Backward & Forward Linkages Project  and  one  Integrated  Cold  Chain  Project  in  Theni  district  of  Tamil  Nadu  under  respective component schemes of PMKSY. The project details are placed at Annexure-II

As part of Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative, MoFPI is implementing a centrally sponsored "PM Formalisation  of  Micro  Food  Processing  Enterprises  (PMFME)  Scheme"  for  providing  financial, technical and business support for upgradation/ setting up of two lakh micro food processing units based on One District One Product (ODOP) approach over a period of five years from 2020-21 to 2024-25 with an outlay of Rs. 10,000 crore. Under the scheme, MoFPI has approved 137 unique food products/ perishable produce as ODOP for 707 districts of 35 States/ UTs. As per the Union Budget 2021, the scope of the Operation Green  scheme is being expanded from tomato, onion & potato(TOP) to 22 perishables for value chain creation.
