## ANSWER

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

(a): Surplus production of some agricultural and horticultural crops, low level of processing and    lack  of  adequate  post  harvest  infrastructure  offer  opportunities  in  development  of  food processing sector in the country. As per a Study 'Assessment of Quantitative Harvest and PostHarvest Losses of Major Crops and Commodities in India' carried out by Central Institute of Post-Harvest Engineering and Technology (CIPHET), Ludhiana in 2015 for the crop year 201213, the estimated annual value of harvest and post-harvest losses of major agricultural produces at national level was Rs 92,651 Crores. The study was based on production data of 2012-13 and wholesale  prices  of  2014.  The  Inter-ministerial  Committee  on  Doubling  Farmers'  Income, chaired by Dr. Ashok Dalwai, has recommended that Processing facilities, both small and large scale, can help the farmers in realizing better value on the surpluses. The Task Force on Losses incurred for perishable Agriculture/ Horticulture produce due to shortage of Cold Chain Capacity, constituted in 2014  under chairmanship of the Secretary, Food  Processing Industries, recommended  various  schematic  and  policy  interventions  for  ensuring  adequate  cold  chain infrastructure in the country. Vision, Strategy and Action Plan for Food Processing Industries prepared  by  Rabo  India  Finance  Pvt.  Ltd  in  2005  also  concluded  that  rapid  growth  of  food processing in the country is necessary & inevitable.

- (b): No major challenge is being faced in developing food processing industries in rural and backward areas of Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Karnataka. The Ministry has approved a total of 79, 149 & 50 number of projects respectively in these states under various component schemes of  PRADHAN  MANTRI  KISAN  SAMPADA  YOJANA  (PMKSY).  However  there  are challenges in some areas like availability of processable variety of raw materials, availability of land, availability of skilled manpower, bank credit, etc.
- (c): The Budget allocation and expenditure details of component scheme of Human Resource & Institutions- Skill Development under PMKSY is at Annexure-I . Under the scheme, MoFPI has  approved  a  total  of  30  projects  -(a)  29  projects  relate  to  creation  of  infrastructure  Skill Training  Centers,  out  of  which  4  projects  have  been  completed  (b)  1  project  relates  to development/ translation of course curriculum for 13 Food Processing Job Roles.
- (d)  &  (e):  The  details  of  projects  approved  in  the  States  of  Maharashtra,  Tamil  Nadu  and Karnataka for setting up of food processing units under the scheme of Creation/ Expansion of Food Processing & Preservation Capacities is at Annexure-II
