- (a): The Agriculture  Infrastructure  Fund  (AIF)  plays  a  key  role  in  strengthening  market linkages and value chain management by supporting creation of post-harvest infrastructure like  primary  processing  units,  warehouses,  cold  chains,  and  collection  centres.  These facilities help reduce wastage, enhance value addition, and ensure better price realization for farmers.

Allocation of ₹1 lakh crore has been made under the Scheme, which is tentatively distributed  among States and UTs based on their share in the total value of  output from agriculture and allied sectors. However, States can avail the scheme till the completion of sanctioning Rs. 1 lakh crore.This allocation is for medium to long term loans for setting up post  harvest  management and viable  farming  assets  by  various  lending  institutions.  The tentative allocation amongst the  States is given at ANNEXURE-I.

- (b): Against the total Scheme allocation of ₹6,540 crore for the entire duration up to FY 2025-26, the year-wise details of loans sanctioned in the State of Andhra Pradesh during the last three years and the current year are given at ANNEXURE-II.
- (c): As  on  30 th June,  2025,  out  of  a  total  of  1,13,419  projects  sanctioned  under  AIF, 62,630  projects  have  been  geo-tagged  including  361  projects  out  of  3,205  projects  in Andhra Pradesh.
