## ANSWER

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

(a): Government of India approved a new Central Sector Scheme PRADHAN MANTRI KISAN SAMPADA YOJANA - (PMKSY) on  3rd  May,  2017  with  an  allocation  of  Rs. 6,000  crore  for  the  period  2016-20  coterminous  with  the  14th  Finance  Commission  cycle. 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 (New)
- (iv). Infrastructure for Agro-processing Clusters (New)
- (v). Creation of Backward and Forward Linkages (New)
- (vi). Food Safety and Quality Assurance Infrastructure
- (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.

(b):  The number of projects approved under Agro Processing Clusters, Backward - Forward linkage  and  unit  scheme  so  far,  State-wise  are  given  in  the Annexure .    No  projects  under these new schemes have so far been sanctioned for Bundelkhand Region.

(c): The PMKSY is expected to leverage 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.

(d): Government in the Union Budget 2018-19 has announced to promote establishment of Specialized  Agro  Processing  Financial  Institutions  in  the  food  processing  sector.  InterMinisterial consultations are being held on the memorandum  for  Standing  Finance Committee (SFC).

(e): The World Food India 2017 event organized by Ministry of Food Processing Industries has attracted investment intent of about US Dollar 13.56 billion from domestic and foreign investors.  50  MoUs  have  been  signed  with  domestic  and  foreign  companies  by  the Government of India and 131 MoUs have been signed by the States. The major companies which  have  signed  MoUs  are  from  various  countries  including  USA,  Germany,  UAE, Thailand, Denmark, France and Indian Companies. The States which signed MoUs include Telangana, Haryana, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.

Regarding grounding status, the duration of the investment proposals of the investor varies  from  investor  to  investor,  depending  on  their  phased  plans  and  completion  of  the different  phases,  besides  their  internal  factors  as  well.  Quite  a  few  companies  have  also started grounding the project.
