## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY (SMT. ANUPRIYA PATEL)

- (a) The  quantum  of  oilmeal  and  oilmeal  products  exported  to  major  countries quantity  and  country  wise  during  the  last  three  years  indicating  the  share  of India's oilmeal exports in global exports, is at Annexure - I.

- (b) & (c) The  export  of  oilmeal  declined  from  4493293  Tons  in  the  year  2018-19  to 2655789 Tons in the year 2019-20 due to better price realization for the product in domestic market. Subsequently, exports had a steep boost in the year 2020-21 with the total export  of  4366554  Tons  (91.45%  growth) (Annexure-II) . Furthermore, upto September, 2021, there is 1.69% growth in exports of oilmeal over the same period in the year 2020-21.
- (d) Ministry of Food Processing industries (MoFPI) is implementing various schemes like  Pradhan  Mantri  Kisan  SAMPADA  Yojana  (PMKSY),  Pradhan  Mantri Formalization of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME) Scheme (outlay of Rs. 10,000 crore) and Product Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme (outlay of Rs. 10,900 crore) for supporting creation of modern infrastructure, setting/upgrading the food manufacturing units, value chain development in perishables, backward and forward linkages, financial, technical and business support for upgradation/setting  up  of  micro  food  processing  units  etc.  The  schemes  are available for oilmeal industry also.
- (e) To promote agricultural exports including oilmeals, the Government has introduced a comprehensive Agriculture Export Policy (AEP) to harness export potential  of  Indian  agriculture  and  raise  farmers'  income.  The  Department  of Commerce  provides  assistance  through  several other schemes,  to  promote exports, including agriculture export viz. Trade Infrastructure for Export Scheme (TIES), Market Access Initiatives (MAI) Scheme, etc. In addition, assistance to the exporters of agriculture products is also available under the export promotion schemes of Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA), Agricultural & Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), Tea Board, Coffee Board and Spices Board. The Government has also introduced a Central Sector Scheme  -  'Transport and Marketing Assistance for Specified  Agriculture  Products'  -  for  providing  assistance  for  the  international component  of  freight,  to  mitigate  the  freight  disadvantage  for  the  export  of agriculture products.
