## ANSWER

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

(a) &  (b): The  Ministry  of  Food  Processing  Industries  (MoFPI)  has  not  undertaken  any specific  study  to  ascertain  the  potential  of  Food  Processing  Industries  (FPIs)  in  contributing towards the country's economic growth. However, the Ministry had commissioned a 'Study to Determine the Level of Food Processing in India' through M/s Deloitte in 2021. Given the large and varied agricultural resources in the country, there is lot of potential for development of food processing industries in India. The Ministry promotes the overall development of food processing sector  through  the  implementation  of  various  schemes  like  Pradhan  Mantri  Kisan  Sampada Yojana (PMKSY) for providing credit linked financial assistance for creation of modern postharvest infrastructure across the country; PM Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises Scheme (PMFME)  for providing financial, technical and business support for setting up/upgradation of two lakh micro food processing enterprises. The Ministry also implements a Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme to incentivize creation of global food manufacturing champions and improving the visibility of Indian food brands abroad.

(c)  &(d): The Ministry  of  Statistics  and  Programme  Implementation  collects  data  on  various registered  manufacturing  sectors  including  the  food  processing  industries  through  the  Annual Survey of Industries(ASI). As per the latest report of ASI, covering data for the year 2019-20, the total number of registered food processing units in the country were 41,484. As per the ASI data, the state-wise details of the registered food processing units in 2018-19 & 2019-20 are placed at Annex .
