## ANSWER

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

(a): The Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) has been implementing the Scheme for Creation of Infrastructure for Agro Processing Clusters (APC), a sub-scheme under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana (PMKSY). The APC scheme aims at development of modern infrastructure and common facilities to encourage group of entrepreneurs to set up food processing  units  based  on  cluster  approach  by  linking  groups  of  producers/farmers  to  the processors and markets through well-equipped supply chain with modern infrastructure.  These clusters will help in reducing the wastage of surplus produce and add value to the horticultural /agricultural  produce,  which  will  result  in  increase  of  income  of  the  farmers  and  create employments at the local level.

Under APC Scheme, no project has been approved in  Bijnor of  Uttar  Pradesh  and Bapatala of Andhra Pradesh. However, the details regarding list of food processing clusters under  construction  and  functioning  during  the  last  five  years  across  the  country  are  at Annexure .

(b): The details of the total funds allocated and utilized under APC Scheme during last five year are as below:

| 2021-22     |        37.5  |            53.9   |                      49.08   |
| 2022-23     |        48.45 |            56.55  |                      46.82   |
| 2023-24     |        81.3  |            51.016 |                      39.36   |

(c)  &  (d): MoFPI  does  not  set  up  Agro  Processing  Clusters  (APCs)  on  its  own  in  the country.   APC  Scheme  is  demand  driven  scheme  and  is  not  State/District  specific.  The proposals under APC Scheme are invited through Expression of Interest (EoI) from time to time from all the States/UTs including the States of Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh as per availability of funds. No target as such are set up under the scheme and no specific parks are set up for millet based production and poultry products under APC scheme.
