Contribution of FPI to the GDP.
Dec 20, 2021

During the last 5 years ending 2019-20, Gross Value Added (GVA) in Food Processing Industries (FPI) sector has been growing at an Average Annual Growth Rate (AAGR) of around 11.18 per cent. 
 
Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation publishes data for registered manufacturing sector including food processing. As per the latest Annual Survey of Industries (ASI) 2018-19, there were 40,579 food processing units in the registered sector. The ASI data do not give segregated data for big, medium, small, tiny units or details of multi-national corporations (MNCs).
 
The M/o SPI, through a national survey, collected data for unincorporated (unregistered) enterprises for the year 2015-16. As per this latest National Sample Survey (NSS 73rd,Round 2015-16), there were 24.59 lakh food processing enterprises in the unregistered segment out of which 93.6 % were in the micro category, 5.7% in the small category and remaining 0.7% in the medium category.
 
The Ministry is implementing a Central Sector Scheme – Pradhan Mantri Kisan SAMPADA Yojana (PMKSY) for overall development of the food processing sector including increasing the processing capacity, reducing wastage of agricultural produce, creating off-farm employment, ensuring better returns to farmers etc. Major component schemes under PMKSY include Mega Food Park, Agro-Processing Clusters, Integrated Cold Chain, Creation/Expansion of Food Processing and Preservation Capacities (CEFPPC) and Backward & Forward Linkages. Similarly, for upgrading/formalizing unorganized micro sector units, the PM Formalization of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PM-FME) scheme is being implemented since June 2020. A Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme has also been rolled out for creating global food champions.
