## ANSWER

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

(a)  to  (f): The  Ministry  of  Food  Processing  Industries  (MoFPI)  does  not  setup  any  food  processing industries  on  its  own.  However,  it  incentivizes  setting  up  of  such  industries  through  its  Central  Sector Umbrella  Scheme  Pradhan  Mantri  Kisan  SAMPADA  Yojana  (PMKSY),  Production  Linked  Incentive Scheme for Food Processing Industry (PLISFPI) and Centrally sponsored PM Formalization of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME) scheme across the country including Bihar.

Under component schemes of PMKSY, MoFPI provides mostly credit linked financial assistance (capital subsidy) in the form of grants-in-aid Entrepreneurs. Mega Food Park (MFP) and Infrastructure for Agro-processing Clusters (APC) components of PMKSY are aimed at development of such Industries in clusters.  The  details  of  projects,  including  MFPs  &  APCs,  approved  under  corresponding  component schemes of PMKSY in Bihar is attached at Annexure .

PMKSY is not any region or state specific but demand driven and financial assistance is provided to the eligible applicants across the country including from Bihar and its Darbhanga District, which are selected on the basis of Expression of Interest issued from time to time under its component schemes.

Ministry also provides financial, technical and business support for setting up/ upgradation of micro food processing enterprises through credit linked subsidy under PMFME scheme. PMFME adopts One District  One Product (ODOP) approach to reap the benefit of scale in terms of procurement of inputs, availing common services and marketing of local and indigenous food product. So far, a total of 3837 individual micro food processing units have been approved for assistance under the scheme, out of which 32 are located in Darbhanga. Makhana has been selected as ODOP for Darbhanga.

PLISFPI is targeted to facilitate expansion of food processing capacity by creating champion brands in Food Processing Sector with total outlay of Rs 10,900 Cr for a period of 6 years (2021-22 to 2026-27). So far, a total investment of Rs 481.79 Cr has been committed in projects located in Bihar under the scheme.
