## ANSWER

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

- (a): The  details  of  State-wise  total  number  of  food  processing  units  registered  and unincorporated in the country is at Annexure-I .
- (b): The  details  of  locations  of  the  food  processing  units  approved  in  Rajasthan  under  the Scheme for Creation/Expansion of Food Processing and Preservation Capacities (CEFPPC) of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana (PMKSY) is at Annexure-II .
- (c)  &  (d): Ministry  of  Food  Processing  Industries  (MoFPI)  is  implementing  a  Scheme  for Creation/Expansion of Food Processing & Preservation Capacities (CEFPPC) under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana (PMKSY) for setting up/expansion of food processing industries and  creation  of  processing  and  preservation  capacities  for  agri-horti  products  including  onion, tomato and other vegetables in the country including Rajasthan.

Under the scheme, grants-in-aid @ 35% of the eligible project cost is provided in General Areas and 50% of the eligible project cost in North Eastern States including Sikkim and Difficult areas including Himalayan States (Himachal Pradesh, J&K & Uttarakhand), notified ITDP areas and Islands subject to a maximum of Rs.5.00 crore.

The food processing units can be setup in Mega Food Parks (MFPs), Agro Processing Clusters  (APC)  and  Designated  Food  Parks  (DFPs)  notified  by  the  Ministry  from  time  to  time. However, in States / UTs having no MFP, APC or DFP, the food processing units can be setup anywhere in the State / UT.

Further, the units  having  majority stake of SC / ST promoter(s) and with an eligible project cost of more than Rs. 5 (five) crore can be set up at any location in the country.

MoFPI has issued Expression of Interest (EOI) for inviting online proposals from interested entrepreneurs / investors for setting up of food processing units in the country. The closing date of submission of online proposals is 30.06.2019. The interested entrepreneurs / investors can submit their proposals for creation / expansion of food processing units in the country including Rajasthan.
