## ANSWER

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

(a) : Yes Sir, The Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) is focusing on building cold chain infrastructure across the country, for seamless transfer of perishables from production to consumption  areas,  through  the  Pradhan  Mantri  Kisan  Sampada  Yojana  (PMKSY),  which comprises  of  component  schemes  namely  (i)  Integrated  Cold  Chain  and  Value  Addition Infrastructure,  (ii)  Mega  Food  Park,  (iii)  Creation  of  Backward  &  Forward  Linkages,  (iv) Creation/  Expansion  of  Food  Processing  and  Preservation  Capacities  (v)  Agro  Processing Clusters  and  (vi)  Operation  Greens.  These  schemes  aim  at  arresting  post-harvest  losses  of horticulture and non-horticulture produce by encouraging the creation of cold storages/ primary processing/ and transportation facilities across the country. To fill in the gaps across the value chain  and  establishing  the  Cold  Chain  Grid,  the  Ministry  has  also  sanctioned  37  Mega  Food Parks  and  298  Integrated  Cold  Chain  Projects  throughout  the  country.  A  State/  UT-wise  list showing the approved Cold Chain and Mega Food Park projects as on date under the PMKSY is placed at Annexure -I.

(b) to (d): Ministry of Food Processing Industries does not establish food processing parks in the country on its own. As per the scheme guidelines, the responsibility of execution, ownership and management of the Mega Food Park (MFP) would vest with a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) registered under the Companies Act, promoted by private entities or state Government entities. The State Government/ State Government entities/Cooperatives applying for the project under the scheme will not be required to form a separate SPV. Financial Institutions/banks, organized retailers,  processors,  service  providers,  producers,  farmer  organizations  and  other  related stakeholders could be the shareholders of the SPV. Now, this scheme is a component of the new Central Sector Umbrella Scheme - PRADHAN MANTRI KISAN SAMPADA YOJANA.

The proposals under scheme for Mega Food Park for setting up of Mega Food Parks in the  country  are  invited  through  Expression  of  Interest  (EoI)  from  time  to  time.  The  willing entrepreneurs in the country may apply for setting up of Mega Food Parks as per provisions of the  guidelines  of  scheme  for  Mega  Food  Park  as  and  when  EoI  is  invited  by  the  Ministry. Selection of suitable proposals for these projects is done as per the Scheme guidelines, based on the merit, through a three tier stringent appraisal process as per the prefixed criteria. The current EoI has last date as 31.03.2020 for submission of proposals. Total  42  Mega  Food  Parks  (MFPs)  were  envisaged  by  the  Government.  As  on  date, Ministry has approved  37 MFPs  in  23  states/UTs which  are under various stages of implementation. These 37 Mega Food Park projects have cold storage as one of the components along with other food processing components. In these 37 Mega Food Park projects, the total capacity of Cold Storage is 1,74,470 MT and of Deep Freezers is 39,500 MT. The details of State/UT-wise Cold storage facility in 37 final approved Mega Food Park projects are attached as Annexure-II.
