## ANSWER

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

(a) & (b):  Food processing industries source most of the raw materials from farmers. Therefore, growth of the sector will have positive impact on farmer's income. However, farmer's income is not dependent only on this source.

Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation through national level surveys bring out data on income of agricultural households including net receipt from farming of crops and animals. The average monthly income of agricultural households has grown positively along with growth in Gross Value Added (GVA) of food processing sector in recent years as indicated in the table below:

|                                                                   | 2012-13   | 2018-19   |   Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) (%) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------|-----------|------------------------------------------|
| Average monthly income per agricultural household (in Rs.) #      | 6,426     | 10,218    |                                     8.04 |
| Gross Value Added of food processing sector * (Rs. in lakh crore) | 1.30      | 2.32      |                                    10.13 |

(c): The Government is implementing various schemes to create cold chain infrastructure in different parts of the country as under:

- i. Ministry  of  Food  Processing  Industries  is  implementing  a  Scheme  for  Integrated  Cold Chain, Value Addition and Preservation Infrastructure as one of the components of Pradhan Mantri  Kisan  Sampada  Yojana  (PMKSY)  with  the  objective  of  reducing  post-harvest losses of horticulture and non-horticulture produce and providing remunerative price to farmers for their produce.
- ii. Department of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare is implementing the Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) for various horticulture activities including setting up of cold storages through State Governments.
- iii. National Horticulture Board (NHB) is implementing a scheme namely 'Capital Investment Subsidy for Construction/ Expansion / Modernization of Cold Storages and Storages for Horticulture Products'.

(d): 41  Mega Food Park projects have been approved and 22 Mega Food Parks have been made operational in the country. A list of these 41 Mega Food Parks including their location is attached at Annexure .
