Under sub-scheme - Creation/ Expansion of Food Processing and Preservation Capacities (CEFPPC scheme) of PMKSY, MoFPI has sanctioned financial assistance for setting up of 8 food processing units (7 units in M/s Gujarat Agro Infrastructure Mega Food Park Pvt. Ltd., Surat and 1 unit in M/s Fanidhar Mega Food Park Pvt. Ltd., Mehsana) during the last three years from 2019-20 to 2021-22 in the MoFPI approved Mega Food Parks in the State of Gujarat.
