Development of Mega Food Parks.
Apr 06, 2022

Ministry of Food Processing Industries has been implementing Mega FoodPark Scheme (MFPS), a component scheme under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana (PMKSY), to create modern infrastructure for the food processing sector along the value chain from farm to market. Ministry does not set up Mega Food Parks on its own. The scheme is demand driven and proposals are invited through Expression of Interest (EOI). Under the scheme, Ministry has approved 41 Mega Food Park projects. Out of this, 22 parks are operational. The details of these Parks are at Annexure. The scheme has been discontinued by the Government with effect from 01.04.2021 with provision for committed liabilities for ongoing projects.
 
The Ministry is also implementing the Scheme for Creation of Infrastructure for Agro Processing Clusters (similar to mini food park) which is an on-going component scheme under PMKSY for development of modern infrastructure to encourage entrepreneurs to set up food processing units based on cluster approach. The scheme is demand driven and proposals are received through EOI and interested entrepreneurs may participate in the EOIs invited by the Ministry.
 
This information was given by Minister of State for M/o Food Processing Industries, Shri Prahlad Singh Patel in a written reply in Lok Sabha today
