## ANSWER

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

(a) to (d): As part of Aatmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan, Ministry of Food Processing Industries has launched  an  all  India  centrally  sponsored  "PM  Formalization  of  Micro  food  processing Enterprises  (PMFME)  Scheme"  for  providing  financial,  technical  and  business  support  for upgradation of existing micro food processing enterprises. It is to be implemented for a period of five years from 2020-21 to 2024-25 with an outlay of Rs. 10,000 crores with target to directly assist two lakh micro food processing units with credit linked subsidy. The scheme adopts One District  One Product (ODOP) approach to reap benefit of scale in terms of procurement of inputs,  availing  common  services  and  marketing  of  products.  ODOP  approach  provides framework for value chain development and alignment of support infrastructure in the scheme. The States identify food product for a district, keeping in perspective the focus of the scheme on perishables. Any perishable agri-produce, cereal based product or a food product widely produced in a district can be ODOP for the district. The scheme envisages field level studies and  state  level  upgradation  plans  to  take  care  of  promotional  aspect  of  food  processing industries in different agro-climatic zones.

Under ODOP approach of PMFME scheme, 39 districts spread across 18 states/UTs are selected for Olive, strawberry, grapes & Turmeric. Saffron is not yet selected as ODOP for any district. The district wise ODOP for these products are at Annexure .
