## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRIES (SHRI PRAHLAD SINGH PATEL)

(a)  to  (d): Ministry of Food Processing Industries has been implementing Mega Food Park Scheme (MFPS) to create modern infrastructure for the food processing in the country. Ministry does not establish Mega Food Parks on its own. The proposals under the Scheme for setting up of  Mega  Food  Parks  are  invited  through  Expression  of  Interest  (EoI)  from  time  to  time. Selection of suitable proposals for these projects is done as per the Scheme guidelines.

So far Ministry has accorded final approval to 39 Mega Food Park projects and inprinciple  approval  to  2  Mega  Food  Parks  including  2  projects  in  the  state  of  Karnataka. Presently, there is no further proposal under consideration with Ministry for setting up of Mega Food Park in the state  of  Karnataka.  Details  of  Mega  Food  Park  Projects  approved  by  the Ministry including two projects in the state of Karnataka is at Annexure.

(e): Ministry  does  not  provide  financial  support  for  marketing  of  food  items  including traditional and local popular food items under Mega Food Park scheme. The scheme provides State  of  Art  infrastructure  for  setting  up  modern  food  processing  industries  for  food  items including traditional and locally popular foods based on the cluster approach which offers better marketing avenues for the food products.
