## ANSWER

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

- (a): Ministry  of  Food  Processing  Industries  (MoFPI)  incentivizes  setting  up/  expansion  of  Food Processing Industries through its Central Sector Umbrella Scheme Pradhan Mantri Kisan SAMPADA Yojana (PMKSY), Production Linked Incentive Scheme for Food Processing Industry (PLISFPI) and Centrally sponsored PM Formalization of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME) scheme across the country including North East States. The projects assisted in North Eastern Region (NER) through PMKSY are provided higher credit linked capital subsidy compared to other regions. The brief of projects assisted in NER under Ministry schemes is placed at Annexure-I.
- (b): Though MoFPI has not conducted any study specifically for setting up/ expansion of Food Processing Industries, it has commissioned 'Assessment Studies for identifying gaps in infrastructure & processing facilities' for development of potential value chains for perishable products for 11 crops in identified clusters. A brief of its findings are placed at Annexure-II.
- (c) & (d): PMFME scheme administered by MoFPI is aimed at enhancing competitiveness & promoting formalization of micro-enterprises in the unorganized segment of the food processing through financial, technical and business support.  It provides the framework for value chain development and alignment of  support  infrastructure.  The  scheme  also  envisages  strengthening  backward  and  forward  linkages, provision of common facilities, incubation centres, training, marketing & branding.
