The government has sanctioned 42 mega food parks (MFPs) to be set up in India under the mega food park scheme. Out of these, 36 projects have been accorded final approval, and another two projects have been accorded in-principle approval. Nine MFPs have become functional.
The project-wise details are in the annexure, which is as follows.
The ministry of food processing industries (MoFPI) is implementing the Central Sector Scheme of Integrated Cold Chain and Value Addition Infrastructure with the objective of arresting post-harvest losses of horticultural and non-horticultural produce and providing remunerative price to farmers for their produce.
Under the scheme, the ministry provides financial assistance in the form of grant-in-aid at the rate of 35 per cent for general areas and at the rate of 50 per cent for the north-eastern states, the Himalayan states, Integrated Tribal Development Programme (ITDP) areas and islands for storage and transport infrastructure and at the rate of 50 per cent and 75 per cent, respectively, for value addition and processing infrastructure, subject to a maximum grant-in-aid of Rs 10 crore, for setting up integrated cold chain projects, including irradiation facility without any break from the farm gate to the consumer.
The integrated cold chain and preservation infrastructure can be set up by individuals, groups of entrepreneurs, cooperative societies, self-help groups (SHGs), farmer producer organisations (FPOs), non-governmental organisations (NGOs), Central/state public sector units (PSUs), etc.
The scheme is primarily private sector-driven and proposals under this scheme are invited through Expressions of Interest (EOI). The scheme is available in rural and urban areas in all states/Union Territories (UTs).
State-wise funds are not allotted under the Scheme for Integrated Cold Chain and Value Addition Infrastructure.
The ministry is presently assisting 228 integrated cold chain projects under the scheme.
The details of funds allocated under the Scheme for Integrated Cold Chain and Value Addition Infrastructure during the current fiscal year is as under:
