## ANSWER

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

(a) : The Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) is implementing the Central Sector Umbrella  Scheme-  PRADHAN  MANTRI  KISAN  SAMPADA  YOJANA  (PMKSY)  with  the scheme components viz: (i) Mega  Food Parks, (ii) Integrated Cold Chain and Value  Addition Infrastructure,  (iii)  Infrastructure  for  Agro-processing  Clusters,  (iv)  Creation  of  Backward  and Forward Linkages (v) Creation / Expansion of Food Processing & Preservation Capacities, (vi) Food Safety and Quality Assurance Infrastructure and (vii) Human Resources and Institutions for, inter alia, creation of modern infrastructure and efficient supply chain for facilitating preservation and processing of all agro and marine produce including vegetables, fruits and milk. The Ministry is also implementing the scheme "Operation Greens" as a vertical of PMKSY since November, 2018 for integrated development of value/supply chain of tomato, onion and potato (TOP) crops in selected States on pilot basis.  PMKSY provides a big boost to the growth of food processing sector in the country helping thereby the farmers in getting better prices for their produces due to higher demand for agricultural produce by the food processing industries as raw material. It is thus a  big  step  towards  doubling  of  farmers'  income  in  addition  to  creating  huge  employment opportunities especially in the rural areas, reducing wastage of agricultural produce and enhancing the export of the processed foods.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare is implementing Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) for development of Horticulture in the country under which financial assistance is available, Inter-alia, for setting up of post-harvest management infrastructure including establishment of cold storages. Further, the National Horticulture Board of Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare is implementing (i). Development of Commercial Horticulture through Production and Post-Harvest Management of Horticulture Crops; and (ii) Capital  Investment  Subsidy  for  Construction/  Expansion/  Modernization  of  Cold  Storages  for Horticulture  Products  providing  financial  assistance  for  setting  up  of,  inter-alia,  cold  storage facilities.

(b) to (e):  The schemes under PMKSY and schemes under MIDH and NHB  are demand driven. A Statement indicating State-wise number of Cold Storage in Mega Food Parks approved under the scheme of Mega Food Parks is at Annexure-I . A Statement indicating State-wise number of Cold Storage capacities created under the scheme of Integrated Cold Chain and Value Addition is at Annexure-II .  A  Statement  indicating  State-wise  Cold  Storage  project  under  MIDH  is  at Annexure-III . A  Statement  indicating  State-wise  number  of  Cold  Storage  sanctioned  under National Horticulture Board (NHB) is at Annexure-IV .
