Pradhan Mantri Kisan SAMPADA Yojana (PMKSY), Production LinkedIncentive Scheme for Food Processing Industry (PLISFPI) and a Centrally sponsored Pradhan Mantri Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME) Scheme. These schemes are not region or state specific but demand driven and are implemented across the country including Punjab. Schemes implemented by MoFPI aim towards creation of modern infrastructure with efficient supply chain management from farm gate to retail outlet which includes storage, transportation, value addition etc., thereby enhancing productivity, reducing wastage of agricultural produce, reduction in post-harvest losses, enhancing productivity, increasing the processing level and enhancing the export of the processed foods. Agricultural & Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) under Central Sector Scheme (CSS) provides financial assistance to facilitate the export of agri/horticulture processed food products to exporters on PAN India basis. Financial assistance is provided under Agriculture and Processed Foods Export Promotion Scheme of APEDA for the 15th Finance Commission Cycle (2021-22 to 2025-26) in three broad areas, namely Development of export infrastructure, Quality Development and Market Development. For the export facilitation of APEDA-scheduled products including processed horticulture products in international markets, APEDA organizes participation in international trade fairs and Buyer–Seller Meets (BSMs), enabling Indian exporters to showcase their products to overseas buyers and explore new business opportunities. In addition, APEDA conducts Reverse Buyer–Seller Meets (RBSMs) in India by inviting prominent importers from various countries. These events provide a dedicated platform for display, interaction, and promotion of India’s export-potential agricultural and processed horticulture products before prospective international buyers, thereby strengthening market access and trade linkages. *****ANNEXURE-I ANNEXURE REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PART (a) OF THE RAJYA SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 3904 FOR ANSWER ON 27TH MARCH, 2026 REGARDING “IMPLEMENTATION OF PMKSY AND PMFME SCHEME IN PUNJAB” PMKSY PMFME No. of No. of No. of micro No. of micro approved operational enterprises enterprises for S. food food for which which Districts No processing processing credit linked credit linked projects projects assistance assistance approved disbursed 1 Amritsar 3 3 43 35 2 Barnala 0 0 283 279 3 Bathinda 0 0 573 556 4 Faridkot 0 0 145 136 Fatehgarh 4 4 5 44 43 Sahib 6 Fazilka 4 4 39 36 7 Firozepur 2 2 80 74 8 Gurdaspur 1 1 67 59 9 Hoshiarpur 1 1 109 103 10 Jalandhar 5 2 107 96 11 Kapurthala 3 3 46 42 12 Ludhiana 10 9 193 179 13 Malerkotla 0 0 97 95 14 Mansa 0 0 299 291 15 Moga 1 1 203 191 16 Pathankot 0 0 22 19 17 Patiala 5 5 167 162 18 Rupnagar 1 1 20 18 19 S.A.S Nagar 5 2 42 40 20 Sangrur 1 1 305 289 21 SBS Nagar 1 1 26 24 Sri Muktsar 3 0 22 171 165 Sahib 23 Tarn Taran 0 0 27 25 *****ANNEXURE-II ANNEXURE REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PART (b) OF THE RAJYA SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 3904 FOR ANSWER ON 27TH MARCH, 2026 REGARDING “IMPLEMENTATION OF PMKSY AND PMFME SCHEME IN PUNJAB” Details of funds allocated and funds utilized in PMKSY & PMFME schemes of MoFPI (Rs in Crores) 2022-23 2023-24 2024-25 Scheme R.E.
