In order to address gaps in food supply-chain infrastructure and ensure overall development of Food
Processing Sector, Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) has been incentivizing setting
up/expansion of related infrastructure through its two Central Sector Schemes namely Pradhan Mantri
Kisan SAMPADA Yojana (PMKSY) and Production Linked Incentive Scheme for Food Processing
Industry (PLISFPI). MoFPI is also implementing a Centrally sponsored scheme namely PM Formalization
of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME) scheme.
These schemes 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 help in
providing better returns to farmers, reducing wastage of agricultural produce, reduction in post harvest
losses, enhancing productivity and increasing the processing level.
MoFPI schemes are demand driven and most of the projects approved under the schemes are in rural
areas, thereby promoting public investment in rural areas to bridge these infrastructural gaps. MoFPI does
not set up food processing units on its own. However, it provides financial assistance in the form of
grants-in-aid to eligible entrepreneurs for establishing related infrastructure, through its schemes as per
related scheme guidelines.
The total approved outlay for these three schemes are as under:
Name of the Scheme Implementation period Total Outlay
