ROLE OF THE MINISTRY

is concerned with formulation and implementation
of the policies and plans for the food processing
industries within the overall national priorities and
objectives. A major issue facing the country is to
ensure remunerative prices to the farmers for their
produce. If the surplus production of cereals, fruits,
vegetables, milk, fish, meat and poultry etc. is
processed and marketed both inside and outside the
country, there will be greater opportunities for
adding to the income of farmers and employment.
A strong and dynamic food processing sector plays a
vital role in diversification and commercialization
of agriculture, enhancing shelf life, ensuring value
addition to agricultural produce, generating
employments, enhancing income of farmers and
creating markets for export of agro foods. The
Ministry acts as a catalyst for bringing in greater

investment into this sector, guiding and helping the
industry and creating a conducive environment for
healthy growth of the food processing industry. The

1.11
GENDER BUDGETING
1.11.1 Keeping in mind the fact that origin of food

processing lies in the culinary tradition of
various communities, carried forward by
their women folk, this Ministry recognizes
contribution of women in food processing.
Since ages, women are traditionally
engaged in food processing activities like,
making pickles, papad, nuggets etc.
Schemes operated by this Ministry are
aimed at providing facilities and incentives
for promotion of food processing industry
in the country. These schemes are project
oriented instead of being State, area,
community, caste or gender specific.
1.11.2 The beneficiaries of projects assisted by the
Ministry are those supplying raw materials
to food processing industries, people
working in food processing plants and those
engaged in marketing activities
downstream. Although the benefit
accruing to women from these schemes has
not been quantified, efforts are being made
by the Ministry to ensure that the
maximum benefit of the schemes of the
Ministry could reach to the women
stakeholders of the sector.
1.11.3 A Gender Budget Cell under the
chairmanship of a Joint Secretary has been
set up in the Ministry for inducting and
effecting a change in the Ministry's policies
and programmes in a way that could tackle
gender imbalances, promote gender
equality and development and could ensure

that public resources through the Ministry's
budget are allocated and managed
accordingly.
1.11.4 Considering the need to understand the
gender implications of food processing
industries and its potential for improving
livelihoods of women, Ministry entrusted a
Survey-cum-Study to Centre for Market
Research & Social Development, New
Delhi for suggesting an Integrated Gender
Action Plan pertaining to Food Processing
sector including the required standards and
parameters on the basis of which the units
can be certified as compliant with these
requirements as also process of

certification and accreditation of the units
which comply with these standards. The
study report makes suggestions on various
relevant issues including policy of the
Ministry, Monitoring system to assess
gender mainstreaming efforts, Gender
Audit of the Policies of the Government,
how to encourage the women SHGs to start
their food processing units, points of
convergence with the existing schemes of
other Ministries/ Departments and Gender
Budgeting etc.

CHAPTER-2
GENERAL STATUS OF FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRY

2.1
OV E RV I E W O F T H E
PROCESSING SECTOR:
FOOD
2.1.1 India is a richly endowed agricultural nation.

It has nearly a tenth of world's arable land
and a fifth of world's irrigated land. India has
all major climates of the world, enjoys long
sunshine hours, fairly good rainfall which
are ideally suited for round the year
cultivation. It has the largest cattle
population, second largest goat & sheep
population and a vast coastline. Given the
resource endowment, India has all the
potential to become one of the largest food
processing countries in the world. Potential
for production is also matched by strong
demand for processed food products due to
rapid urbanization, change in preferences
and practices in consumption.
2.1.2 Over the years agricultural production has
consistently recorded higher output and has
become self-sufficient in food grain. India
ranks No. 1 in the world in the production of
Milk, Pulses, Ginger, Bananas, Guavas,
Papayas and Mangoes. Further, India ranks
No. 2 in the world in the production of Rice,
Wheat, Vegetable and horticulture products.
Notwithstanding these achievements, it is a
matter of great concern that low level of
processing, inadequate post-har vest
infrastructure facilities and lack of
appropriate technologies result into huge
wastage of agriculture produce, particularly
perishable commodities resulting not only in
loss to the national exchequer but a severe
hardship to our farmers and consumers.
Some studies have revealed that we might be
losing around Rs 40,000 crore for the lack of

post-harvest facilities and inadequate
processing. With adequate storage and
processing facilities, much of this waste can
be reduced while increasing remunerative
price to the producer as well as ensuring
greater supply to the consumer at
appropriate price.
2.1.3 Abundant supply of raw materials, increase
in demand and incentives offered by the
government has impacted food processing
sector positively. In the last few years, the
food processing sector is growing at a faster
rate than agriculture sector. Food Processing
Sector has emerged as an important segment
of the Indian economy in terms of its
contribution to GDP, employment and
investment. The sector constitutes as much
as 9.0 and 11.0 per cent of GDP in
Manufacturing and Agriculture sector
respectively. During the last 5 years ending
2012-13, Food Processing Industries sector
has been growing at an Average Annual
Growth Rate (AAGR) of around 8.4 per
cent as compared to around 3.3 per cent in
Agriculture and 6.6 per cent in
Manufacturing.
2.2
CONTRIBUTION AND GROWTH OF

FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRIES:
2.2.1 As seen in the table below, the Food

Processing Sector has been growing faster
than the agriculture sector. This is a positive
development indicating higher level of
contribution of food processing sector to
GDP as compared to agriculture and
manufacturing sectors.

2.2.2 Performance of this sector has improved

s i g n i f i c a n t ly i n t h e r e c e n t ye a r s.
Manufacturing sector was generally growing
at a higher rate than FPI till 2009-10.
Performance of FPI improved substantially
in 2011-12 registering a record growth of
21.6 per cent. In the year 2012-13, the growth
of food processing sector decelerated along
with slow growth both in agriculture and
manufacturing sectors though the growth of
the sector was higher than both agriculture
and manufacturing sector.

STAGES OF PROCESSING OF FOOD:
Ministries. Nevertheless, since food

processing industries from the economic
activity point of view include all edible
processed food, data analyzed by this
Ministry includes the entire sector. The
different stages of processing of food, is
depicted in the flow chart below:
2.7.1 The Ministry of Food Processing Industries

does not deal with a few food items such as
coffee, tea, oilseeds, sugar, spices and alcohol
made from molasses, as these items fall
within the purview of other Ministries under
the Allocation of Business Rules for Central
Supply Chain in Food Processing Industries
Inputs
Production
Procurement
& Storage
2.7.2 Primary Processing relates to conversion of

raw agricultural produce, milk, meat and fish
into a commodity that is fit for human
consumption. It involves steps such as
cleaning, grading, sorting, packing etc. Food
Processing Industries usually deal with
higher levels of processing where new or
higher value food products are
manufactured. From an analytical
perspective, food processing can be viewed as
different levels of processing primary,
secondary and tertiary.
2.7.3 Food processing includes (a) Manufactured
Processes: If any raw product of agriculture,
animal husbandry or fishing is transformed
through a process [involving employees,
power, machines or money] in such a way

that its original physical properties undergo a

edible and has commercial value, then it
comes within the domain of Food
Processing Industries. (b) Other ValueAdded Processes: If there is significant value
addition (increased shelf life, shelled and
ready for consumption etc.) such produce
also comes under food processing, even if it
does not undergo manufacturing processes.

2.13.4 It may be seen that most of the wastage is

happening in fruits and vegetables, pulses and
cereals. With adequate processing facilities,
much of this waste can be reduced thus
increasing remunerative wage to the producer
as well as ensuring greater supply to the
consumer. The Ministry of Food Processing
Industries has assigned a repeat study to
CIPHET, Ludhiana for same 106 districts to

assess the position at present. The study is
expected to be completed in January, 2015.

FOOD PROCESSING SECTOR

IMPEDIMENTS:
The major challenges facing the sector are
illustrated below:-
Supply Chain Infra Gaps

(Lack of primary
processing, storage and
distribution facilities)
Supply Chain
Institutional Gaps
(procurement dependence
on APMC markets)
Lack of product
development and
Innovation
Challenges for
Food Processing
Sector
Inadequate link between

production and
processing (lack of
processable varieties)
Seasonability of
operations and low
capacity utilization
Inadequate focus on
quality and safety
standards
22

These constraints are sought to be addressed
in the schemes being implemented by the
2.15
Ministry, as indicated in subsequent

chapters.
FOOD PROCESSING SECTOR GROWTH POTENTIAL:

Increasing spending
on Food products
Increasing Urbanization Lifestyle and Aspirations
Challenges for
Food Processing
Sector
Changing demographics
Rise in disposable incomes
Increasing Nuclear
Families and
Working Women
Demand for Functional

Foods/Neutraceuticals
Growth of Organized
Retail and Private Label
Penetration
2.15.1 The figure above indicates the various factors

which are likely to increase the demand for
p r o c e s s e d f o o d i n c o m i n g ye a r s.
Programmes to increase the output of Indian
agriculture without corresponding
investments in processing facilities is likely to
lead to a mismatch resulting in rural distress
and decline in farmers' income. The single
most important step for improving the
bargaining capacity of the farmer is to add
value to his produce. This will come about if
farmers are able to produce according to the
requirements and standards demanded by
the market. Processing industries and
retailers can provide the necessary demand
for the agricultural produce and facilitate the
flow of market information, technology and
inputs to the farmer so that he can tailor his
output to the needs of the market and in the
process raise his own level of income and
employment. The consumer is also likely to
be benefitted as there will be an increase in

the supply of food products with a higher
shelf life.
2.15.2 It is essential to build sustainable supply
chains, which will link the farmer to the
processing and marketing centres seamlessly.
In the absence of onfarm cooling and
grading arrangements and slow
development of cold chain infrastructure,
the farmer is compelled to sell his produce to
the 'Adathiya (Broker)' without waiting for a
better price. If the farmer is enabled to grade
and store his produce close to farm, the
farmer will be empowered to demand and
obtain a better price from the processors and
also add value to his produce.
2.15.3 Considerable investments are required in
rural infrastructure and components of the
supply chain by way of grading and packing
centres, controlled atmosphere storage
23

facilities, reefer vans, testing laboratories,
etc., which may not come from private
sources at this stage of the development of
the food processing industry. It is, therefore,
essential that public investment is
significantly increased to fund these
components of rural infrastructure to enable
private enterprise to take up the remaining
components of the supply chain which can
be undertaken commercially. This is borne
out by the experience of developed countries
where the State has stepped in to build rural
infrastructure in a big way. Carefully

calibrated subsidies, exploring innovative
strategies, empowering rural producers &
consumers through better awareness and
support to entrepreneurs in terms of
technology and training are some of the
ways in which this Ministry has catalyzed
growth in this sector.
These constraints are sought to be addressed
in the schemes being implemented by the
Ministry, as indicated in subsequent
chapters.

SETTING UP OF AN INVESTORS'
HELP DESK
Invest India have entered into an Agreement

on 18.12.2013 for the setting up of an
Investors' Help Desk for offering online
support to investors in food processing
sector, both domestic and foreign, with
regard to their queries, guide them and
provide hand holding services particularly at
the initial stage for setting up of their units.
Investors, both domestic and foreign, could
avail benefit of Help Desk by posting their
query in the investors' portal in the Ministry's
website.
3.3.1 Ministry of Food Processing Industries and
Signing and exchange of Agreement between the Ministry of Food Processing Industries and Invest India for the setting up of an Investors'
Help Desk in the august presence of Shri Sharad Pawar, Hon'ble Minister (A&FPI) and Smt. Naina Lal Kidwai, President, FICCI on 18.12.2013
3.3.2 Government has been offering a number of

fiscal incentives for promoting food
processing sector. Apart from this, a number
of schemes are being implemented for
promoting this sector by extending grant-inaid. These include setting up of Mega Food
Parks, Cold Chain, Abattoirs and setting up
and up-gradation of technology of food
processing units. Government has also
launched a National Mission on Food

Processing in April 2012 with a view to
ensuring active participation of State
Governments in this endeavor. In the recent
years, food processing sector has been
growing at a pace much faster than
agriculture and manufacturing sector. There
is a need to accelerate this pace by
disseminating the benefit extended by the
31

Government among the investors, so that
they are able to appreciate the attractiveness
of this sector and make informed decisions
on investment.
3.3.3 Government has permitted foreign direct
investment up to 100 per cent in food
processing sector through automatic route.
In terms of market size, India has a domestic
market of over a billion population with 300
million strong middle class consumers.
India's domestic food market is estimated to
reach US $ 258 billion by 2015 (FICCI-EY
report, 2009). India is a richly endowed
agricultural nation and is favorably
positioned in terms of closeness to the
markets of Middle East, Africa and South
East Asia. There is a need to proactively
market India as an attractive destination. Of
late, this sector has been attracting lot of
attention from the foreign investors. These
investors need some hand holding services in
the initial stages so that they can easily tackle
the requirements of different procedural
formalities for setting up their manufacturing
activities.
3.3.4 Ministry of Food Processing Industries
released a book Opportunities in Agri
Business: State profiles and launched an
Investors' Portal for Food Processing
Industry. These two initiatives are intended
to provide information, particularly to
investors, about infrastructure facilities for
setting up food processing units, availability
of raw materials, marketing infrastructure,
sector specific state agencies and fiscal
incentives in a user friendly mode.
3.3.5 Invest India, a joint venture between DIPP
and FICCI, has a mandate to promote
foreign investment in India and act as a first
point of reference for global investing
community. Given its mandate and

expertise, Invest India is favorably placed
to guide the investors' in setting up their food
processing units. It was in this background,
the Ministry of Food Processing Industries
entered in to an Agreement with Invest
India' for online support to the investors in
food processing sector. The current initiative
of collaboration with Invest India is intended
to offer online support to investors with
regard to their queries and provide hand
holding services in the initial stage for setting
up of their units.
3.4
SEVOTTAM:
The Ministry of Personnel, Public

Grievances & Pensions has identified the Ministry
of Food Processing Industries as one of the
organisations to take up Sevottam certification in
2006 as a means to achieve excellence in delivery of
public services. Following steps have been taken by
this Ministry towards achieving the Sevottam
certification:(i)
Citizens' Char ter for mulated

associating the staff side and
stakeholders and also in consultation
with DOP&T. The existing Charter has
been placed on the website of the
Ministry and is displayed in the
Information Facilitation Centre of the
Ministry. Based on various changes in
the functioning of the Ministry, the
Citizen's Charter is being further
updated and the same will be finalized
in consultation with stake holders.
(ii)
Redressal of public grievances system

is in place. A Deputy Secretary-level
Officer has been designated as Public
Grievance Officer. The aggrieved
public can drop his representation

either in the complaint box installed
near the reception of the Ministry or
place it on the website of the Ministry
or forward the grievances directly to the
Public Grievance Officer.
cater to the specific local needs

pertaining to minimization of loss of
agricultural produce, increasing
processing level and ensure
remunerative prices to the farmers.
(iii) The Ministry has launched a new

scheme under the 12 the Plan, viz.
National Mission on Food Processing
(NMFP) to be implemented through
the States/UTs with a view to ensuring
better participation of State and UT
Governments and decentralization of
identification, approval and
monitoring of projects. Under the
umbrella of NMFP several schemes
which were earlier implemented by the
Ministry are now being implemented
through the State and UT
Governments. The NMFP scheme is
likely to be more people centric and will

CHAPTER-4
PLAN SCHEMES FOR FOOD PROCESSING SECTOR

4.1
GENERAL
A strong and dynamic food processing sector

plays a significant role in diversification of agricultural
activities, improving value-addition opportunities and
creating surplus for export of agro-food products.
This requires policies and plans for improvement of
food processing infrastructure including up-gradation
of technology and enforcement of quality standards,
promoting investment in food processing, thus
assisting in domestic market and export growth. Food
Processing adds value, enhances shelf-life and reduces
wastage. It provides remunerative prices to the
farmers, generates employment opportunities and
provides convenience to consumers. Food Processing
has tremendous export potential, enabling the farmer
to add value to his produce both in terms of quantity
and quality so that he can meet the requirements and
standards of the market at all stages of value chain,
processing and retail, would be critical for improving
his economic sustainability and bargaining capacity.
Considerable investments are required in rural
infrastructure and components of the supply chain by
way of grading and packing centers, controlled
atmosphere facilities, reefer vans, cold storage for
perishable cargo at port/airport/ railway stations, a
chain of testing laboratories to meet international
quality standards, etc., which are not likely to come
from private sources. Significant public investments
would, therefore, be required to create suitable
infrastructural facilities to develop a sustainable
supply chain linking farmers to processing centres and
markets both domestic and foreign. The Ministry of
Food Processing Industries (MFPI) has been
supporting a range of initiatives for the growth of food
processing industry. It is increasingly becoming
evident that only a vibrant food processing sector can
lead to increasing farm gate price and thus increase
the income levels of farmers, reduce wastage and
increase employment opportunities.
4.2
12th PLAN PROPOSALS:
4.2.1 Working Group on Food Processing

Industries for the 12th Plan has
recommended for continuation of following
schemes as Central Sector Schemes during
the 12th Plan period:I.
Infrastructure Development Schemes

(a) Mega Food Parks
(b) Cold Chain, Value Addition and
Perseveration Infrastructure
(c) Setting up / Modernization of
Abattoirs approved in 11th Plan
II.
Strengthening of Institutions
(a) National Institute of Food
Technology Entrepreneurship &
Management
(b) I n d i a n I n s t i t u t e o f C r o p
Processing Technology
(c) Indian Grape Processing Board
(d) N a t i o n a l M e a t & Po u l t r y
Processing Board
III.
Quality Assurance, HACCP and R&D

and Promotional Activities
4.2.2 Working Group has also recommended for a

new Centrally Sponsored Scheme in the form
of National Mission on Food Processing
proposed to have 8 components. Five
components, namely, (i) Technology upgradation/establishment/modernization of
food processing industries, (ii) Human
Resource Development, (iii) Construction &
Modernization of Abattoirs (iv) Promotional
Activities and (v) Cold Chain, Value
Addition & Preservation infrastructure for
36

non-horticulture produce have been included
in the first phase of the Scheme. Four new
activities, namely, (i) Modernization of Meat
Shops, (ii) Reefer vehicles, (iii) Creation of
PPC/CCs in Rural Areas and (iv) Old Food
Parks have been added as new components.
4.2.3 Working Group has also recommended for
two new central sector schemes namely, (I)
Venture Capital Fund Scheme and (II)
Innovation Fund Scheme. But, these
schemes could not be taken up due to fund
constraints.
4.3
with food processing at the core and

supported by requisite forward and backward
linkages. The broader idea behind the scheme
is to bring together farmers, processors and
retailers and link agricultural production to
the market so as to ensure maximization of
value addition, minimization of wastages
and improving farmers' income.
4.3.1.2 Scheme For Cold Chain, Value Addition
And Preservation Infrastructure
(i)
India has made significant

achievement in production of various
agricultural crops and allied products.
India is the largest producer of milk
and the second largest producer of
fruits, vegetables. The country also is a
substantial producer of marine, meat &
poultry products. However, the postharvest management, preservation,
transportation and value addition are
not adequate in the Indian farm sector.
This results in huge wastage at each
stage of the supply chain.
(ii)
Post-harvest losses can be minimized to

a greater extent by creation of
uninterrupted cold chain infrastructure
linking the farm gate to the retail outlet.
An efficient and adequate storage and
transportation facilities will not only
result in more income to the farmers but
also in steady supply of food products
at retail outlets. The current scenario
reveals that there is a tremendous scope
for the development of cold chain and
preservation facilities.
(iii)
In this backdrop, the ministry launched

the scheme of cold chain, value
addition and preservation infrastructure
in year 2008 with an objective to provide
integrated cold chain, value addition,
and preservation infrastructure facilities
without any break from the farm gate to
the consumer.
THE SALIENT FEATURES OF THE

PLAN SCHEMES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
4.3.1 Schemes For Infrastructure Development

India is a significant contributor on account
of both pre and post-harvest waste in cereals,
pulses, fruits and vegetables. India is the
world's second largest producer of fruits and
vegetables. Eighteen per cent of India's fruit
and vegetable production - valued at Rs
13,300 crore - is wasted annually, according
to data from the Central Institute of PostHarvest Engineering and Technology
(CIPHET). Two of the biggest contributors
to food losses are the lack of refrigerated
transport and the lack of high quality cold
storage facilities for food manufacturers and
food sellers. Having realised this scenario,
Ministry of Food Processing Industries has
the Scheme of Infrastructure development
which has 3 components, namely Mega
Food Parks, Integrated Cold Chain and
setting up/Modernisation of Abattoirs.
4.3.1.1 Mega Food Park Scheme:
Mega Food Parks Scheme aims to create a
modern food processing infrastructure for
the small and medium processing units who
otherwise have not been able to develop due
to capital intensive nature of food processing
equipment. The scheme intends to facilitate
establishment of an integrated value chain,
37

(iv)
(v)
Under the scheme the cold chain

infrastructure can be set up by
individuals, groups of entrepreneurs,
cooperative societies, Self Help
Groups (SHGs), Farmer Producer
Organizations (FPOs), NGOs,
Central/State PSUs, etc. with business
interest in cold chain solutions and
also by those who manage supply
chain.
PPP basis. Regulatory functions

continue to be discharged through local
bodies. This enables the local bodies to
participate in the venture and also be
assured of a stream of income.
(iii)
Ten abattoir projects were approved

during the 11th Plan, out of which 3
have been completed at Dimapur
implemented by Dimapur Municipal
C o u n c i l , a t Va d g a o n Ta n d l i ,
A h m e d n a g a r, M a h a r a s h t r a
implemented by Ahmednagar District
Goat Rearing & Processing Cooperative Federation Ltd and at 74 DC
Dey Road at Tangra, Kolkata, West
Bengal implemented by Kolkata
Municipal Corporation. The seven ongoing projects are at Hyderabad
(Andhra Pradesh), Patna (Bihar),
Shimla (Himachal Pradesh), Ranchi
(Jharkhand), Srinagar (Jammu &
K a s h m i r ) , Ja m mu ( Ja m mu &
Kashmir) and Majhitar (Sikkim).
(iv)
A proposal for upscaling of the scheme

has been approved for setting up of 25
new abattoirs and modernization of 25
existing abattoirs at a total project cost
of Rs 330.84 crore, inclusive of
committed liabilities in respect of the
ongoing projects of 11th Plan.
(v)
The scheme was implemented in the

Central Sector for the first two years of
the 12th Five Year Plan i.e. 2012-13 and
2013-14. Now, the Scheme for setting
up of New Abattoirs/Modernization
of Existing Abattoirs has been
transferred to State Governments for
implementation through National
Mission on Food Processing for the rest
of the 12th Five Year Plan since most
of the proposals are from the
Municipal Bodies which are closely
connected to the State governments.
The implementation schedule for the

project is 24 months in general areas
and 30 months in case of NE region
and difficult areas from the date of the
approval of each project. Programme
Management Agency (PMA) has also
been engaged to assist Ministry in
implementation and monitoring the
cold chain projects as well as scrutiny
and appraisal of the proposals.
4.3.1.3 Scheme for Setting up Modernization of

Abattoirs
(i)
(ii)
During 11th Plan, the Ministry had

launched a comprehensive scheme
for modernization of abattoirs across
the country. The scheme provides
for induction of private capital, better
technology, backward and forward
linkages. Financial assistance is
provided, subject to necessar y
approval, at 50% and 75% of the
cost of plant & machinery and
technical civil work in general and
difficult areas respectively, subject
to a maximum of Rs. 15 crore for
each project.
The scheme provides for implementation of projects with the involvement
of local bodies (Municipal Corporations
and Panchayats)/Public Sector
Undertakings/Co-operatives/ Boards
under Government and has the fexibility
for involvement of private investors on
38

4.3.2 Scheme for Technology Upgradation /
Establishment/ Modernisation of Food
Processing Industries

likely to be completed by the end of next year.
5.2.5 Modification of the Mega Food Park
Scheme guidelines
(i)
The detailed guidelines for the Scheme

were issued on 19.12.2009 and
subsequently revised on 17.11.2011
and 01.10.2012. Based on the
experience of implementation,
modifications in the Scheme guidelines
have been carried out from time to
time. The consolidated revised Mega
Food Parks Scheme guidelines have
been uploaded on the Ministry's
we b s i t e w w w. m o f p i . n i c. i n f o r
information of all concerned.
(ii)
During the course of implementation it

was realised there are certain issues
which are affecting the progress of
project implementation. The issues
being faced by the scheme of Mega
Food Parks were discussed with the
stakeholders concerned and it was
decided to work out fur ther
modifications required in the existing
provisions of the schemes for
facilitating speedier and better project
implementation. The scheme of Mega
Food Parks has further been modified
on 10.02.2014. The major modification
to the scheme include:
The Mega Food Park Projects will

be implemented, owned and
operated by an SPV duly registered
under the Companies Act. The
Anchor Investor in the SPV
holding majority stake, with or
without other promoters of SPV,
will be required to set up at least
one food processing unit in the
park with an investment of not less
49

than Rs.10 Crore. However, State
Government/State Government
entities and cooperatives applying
for the projects under the scheme
will not be required to form a
separate SPV and set up
processing unit(s) in the Park.
5.3
The time schedule for completion

and operationalization of project
was increased to 30 months
countable from the date of release
of 1st installment.
The release of grant instalment

was linked with specific milestone
in order to ensure speedier
implementation.
FOOD PARKS
The Scheme of Food Parks which was under
implementation during 8th to 10th Plan Periods,

envisaged to make available common infrastructure
facilities for the Food Processing Industries,
especially, SMEs. The Scheme provided for a grant
of up to 25% of the project cost subject to a
maximum of Rs.4.00 crore in general areas. Higher
scale of assistance @ 33.33% was admissible for
difficult areas including North- Eastern States, J&K,
Himachal Pradesh & Uttarakhand. The Ministry
had approved 56 Food Parks for assistance during 8th
to 10th Plan Period. Out of 56 Food Parks, 32 Food
Parks have been funded fully which are also
functional, 15 have been funded partially which are
at various stages of implementation and 9 Food Park
projects have been closed due to non-implementation
of the project by the implementing agency. This
scheme has now been subsumed in the National
Mission on Food Processing to be implemented by
the State/ UT governments for providing balance
financial assistance for the incomplete projects.
Patanjali Food and Herbal Park Pvt. Ltd. Haridwar, Uttarakhand

Patanjali Food and Herbal Park Pvt. has been set up with the assistance of MOFPI under the Mega
Food Parks Scheme. The project is being built at a cost of approximately Rs. 95 crore. The Central

Mission on Food Processing (NMFP):
During the 12th Plan period, Cold Chain for
non-horticulture products can also be sanctioned by
UT/ State Governments under NMFP. Integrated
cold chain and preservation infrastructure may be
set up by individuals or group of entrepreneurs
interested in supply chain management,
organizations such as Govt./PSUs/Joint Ventures/
Under NMFP, financial assistance is also

available for standalone reefer vehicle and mobile
pre-cooling van(s) for transporting horticultural &
non-horticultural produce. The assistance will be
available to the individual entrepreneurs,
partnership firms, registered Societies, Cooperatives, NGOs, SHGs, Companies and
Corporations etc.
The financial assistance is in the form of
credit linked back ended grants-in-aid @ 50% of the
cost of New Reefer Vehicle(s)/ Mobile pre-cooling
van(s) upto a maximum of Rs. 50.00 lakh.
5.4.7 Modifications in the scheme:
Based on extensive feedback and
consultations with stakeholders, the guidelines of
the scheme have been revised w.e.f. 20.11.2013 for
53

the purpose of smooth implementation of the
Scheme. To make the scheme more inclusive
farmer-producer organizations, NGOs, self-help
groups and cooperative societies have been made
eligible to apply for financial assistance. The scope
of the components of the scheme has been
broadened. Now ripening chambers can be set up at
the minimal processing centre at the farm level
whereas grading and sorting facilities can also be
part of the distribution hub. Indicative list of eligible
and in-eligible plants & machinery and technical
civil works have been incorporated in the scheme
guidelines. Term loan of at least 10% of the project
cost has been made mandatory for the applicant to
ensure greater involvement of the banks and FIs in
appraisal and financing the projects. The scoring
criteria for assessment of the proposals has been
made more objective and transparent by making
assessment parameters more specific. The DPR
template also guides the applicant to provide the
requisite information about the project in a logical
and sequential manner. The timeline for the project
implementation has now been increased from 18 to
24 months for general areas and 30 months for
difficult and north-eastern areas. The composition
of the Technical Committee and the Inter
Ministerial Approval Committee (IMAC) has
been broadened by inclusion of experts and
representatives from more stakeholders groups.
5.4.8 Requirement of cold chain/cold storage:
It is well known that there is enormous
shortage of cold chain capacity in the country. One
of the reasons for the high losses in the supply chain
of perishables is poor availability of cold chain
infrastructure from farm gate to retail outlets. In a
study conducted by Central Institute of Post
Harvest Engineering & Technology (CIPHET), the
extent of losses was assessed at various levels of
operations. It has been found that the wastages of
perishable products varies from 6 18% resulting in
total loss of about Rs. 44,000 crore annually based
on wholesale price index - 2009.
The Planning Commission has also been

concerned about the need for improvement in the
supply chain particularly for perishables. A
Committee under the Chairmanship of Dr.
Saumitra Chaudhuri, Member, Planning
Commission was constituted in the year 2012 on
encouraging investments in supply chains including
provision for cold chain for more efficient
distribution of farm produce. This Committee has
also taken into account the gap in cold storage
capacity assessed to be about 37 million tonnes.
However, the study of cold storage gap done by the
National Spot Exchange Ltd. (NSEL) in December
2010 has made assumptions which may not
correctly reflect the gap in capacity. In the study,
based on the area specific production, the peak
month of the production in the respective States
have been taken as a reference point as the total
storage requirement. It has been assumed that all
fruits & vegetables which do not go into the market
are stored in cold chain. Also cold storage point was
considered as the primary market point from where
all the trade follow. The study has not covered the
cold storage requirements of the processed food,
spices and pulses.
The Committee has recommended that the
integrated cold chain scheme of the MOFPI should
be open ended with clearly set out budget limits so
that eligible projects within the budgeted limit get
the required support and sufficient resources so that
this objective can be achieved.
Cold Chain Project at Theni, Tamil Nadu
The integrated cold chain project of M/s
Farm Fresh Banana was approved by the Ministry
in 2009. The project was set up with a focus on
banana as the raw material with value addition
centres at two locations at Theni and Hosur in Tamil
Nadu having facilities for ripening, precooling,
packhouse and cold storage, and refrigerated
vehicles for collection and distribution of banana.
The project was completed in 2010.
54

There has been an increase in the area of banana
cultivation from 4,000 acres in 2004 to 35,000 acres
in 2012 in project catchment area. The bunch weight
has also increased from 15-17 Kg/ plant to 30-35
Kg/ plant. The income to the banana farmers in
Theni district has increased from Rs. 40,00050,000/- per acre to Rs.1.5-2 lakhs/acre.
Cold Chain Project at Matiana (Shimla),
Himachal Pradesh
The integrated cold chain project of M/s
Dev Bhumi Cold Chain Ltd. was approved by the
Ministry in 2011. The project was set up with a focus
on apple as the raw material with facilities such as
Controlled Atmosphere Store (1000 MT), Cold
Store (100 MT), modern sorting/ grading line (5
MT/Hr) and refrigerated vehicles at Matiana in
Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh. The project
was completed in 2013.
With the introduction of state of the art
technology for storage of fruits with support from
MoFPI, there has been a significant reduction in
The promoter has endeavoured to improve

the quality of banana by introducing technologies
like bud injection, hand spray, bunch cover, hands
harvest through rope etc, which were introduced
and were disseminated to the banana farmers in the
name of Fruit Care through several trainings.

wastages and increase in shelf life of apples. Apples
are being procured from about 450 farmers across 40
villages for the project. About twenty local people
are permanently employed in the project and
another 120-150 casual workers are seasonally
employed. The apple growers are getting payment
directly for their produce at market rate in a
transparent manner without any middle-men. The
project also has refrigerated logistics for the delivery
of the stored fruits to the markets so that the fruits
reach the customer as fresh as it was at the time of
plucking at the orchard. The farmers' income in the
area has increased substantially in the project area.

the local bodies. However, Government of India has

to play its part in assisting the States in fulfilling this
objective. Hence a Plan Scheme for establishing new
abattoirs and modernizing of existing abattoirs was
started in the 11th Five Year Plan.
5.5.1 Objectives of the scheme:
Scientific and hygienic slaughtering of

the animals.
Application of modern technology for

slaughter waste management and
pollution control.
More humane treatment of

animals/minimizing transportation of
animals.
Better by-product utilization/value

addition.
Providing chilling facility to prevent

microbial activity in slaughtered
animals.
Better hygiene, safety and retail cold

chain management.
Better forward linkage facility for

finished meat and meat products.
SETTING UP MODERNIZATION OF
ABATTOIRS:
The issue of ensuring availability of hygienic

meat and meat products to consumers is a major
area of concern. Steps have to be taken to develop
improved systems of meat production, handling
and marketing to give a fillip to meat industry in the
country. Scientific slaughtering of animals and
proper utilisation of animal by-products and animal
wastages are extremely vital and useful from the
ecological and economic point of view.
The reasons for contamination and wastage
of meat are improper handling of animals and
carcasses during slaughter and subsequent faulty
processing and storage. To reduce contamination
and wastage of meat, to discourage unauthorised
slaughtering and to ensure avoidable cruelty to
animals during the entire process, the requirement
of modernization of abattoirs cannot be gainsaid. It
is imperative that the slaughter houses supplying
meat to the domestic consumers have the basic
minimum requirements such as proper lairage
facilities, flooring, carcass hanging/flaying facility,
adequate water supply and lighting with proper
waste disposal system. This has to be ensured by the
State Government and the local bodies since most
of the abattoirs are owned/operated or licensed by
5.5.2 Salient features of the scheme:
The scheme will be implemented with

involvement of local bodies (Municipal
Corporations and Panchayats)/Public
Sector Undertaking/Co-operatives/
Boards under Government and will
have flexibility for facilitating
involvement of private investors on
public- private partnership basis.
Land for abattoirs will be contributed

by the Panchayats/Urban Local
Bodies/State Agencies enabling them
to participate in these ventures.
Professional agencies have been
56
engaged as Project Management

Agency (PMA) to assist the Ministry in
project appraisal, implementation and
monitoring of projects.
Mission on Food Processing (NMFP)

for the rest of the 12th Five Year Plan
since most of the proposals are from
the Municipal Bodies which are closely
connected to the State Governments.
The proposals received up to 31st
March, 2014 are being considered by
the Ministry based on upscaling of the
scheme approved for First two year of
12th Plan. However, fresh proposals
are to be considered by State
Governments under NMFP.
5.5.3 Pattern of financial assistance:

Financial assistance (grant-in-aid) for setting
up of a new abattoir is provided at 50% of cost of
plant & machinery and Technical Civil Work
(TCW) in general areas subject to maximum of Rs.
15 crore for each project. For difficult areas, the
ceiling is 75% of cost of plant & machinery and
technical civil work subject to maximum of Rs 15
crore for each project. The difficult areas are North
East States including Sikkim, Jammu & Kashmir,
Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and ITDP notified
area of the States.
5.5.4 Approval of the Scheme
During financial year 2008-09, setting up of
10 new abattoirs was approved by the Government.
Approval Committee accorded approval for setting
up of 9 new abattoirs during the year 2008-09 and
remaining one has been approved during the year
2010-11.
5.5.5 Upscaling of the Scheme during 12th Plan
a.
b.
A proposal for upscaling of the scheme

has been approved to cover setting up
of 25 new abattoirs and modernization
of 25 existing abattoirs at a total project
cost of Rs 330.84 crore, inclusive of
committed liabilities in respect of ongoing projects of 11th Plan.
The scheme was implemented in the
Central Sector for the first two years of
the 12th Five Year Plan i.e. 2012-13 and
2013-14. Thereafter, the Scheme for
S e t t i n g u p o f N ew A b a t t o i r s
/Modernization of Existing Abattoirs
is to be implemented by State
Gover nments through National
c.
Operational Guidelines for the Scheme

have been modified for 12th Five Year
Plan to widen the eligibility to cover
projects promoted by Public Sector
Undertakings, Co-operatives and
Boards under Government. This
amendment is intended to provide
flexibility to State Governments in
taking up abattoir projects. Now as the
scheme is being implemented by the
State Governments under National
Mission on Food Processing, the
guidelines are accordingly modified in
order to give more flexibility and
selection of projects as per the
approved pattern of assistance. The
guidelines are uploaded on the
Ministry website; www.mofpi.nic.in
5.5.6 Status of project implementation

had taken up 10 projects under this scheme during

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

(a)
A focused approach towards R&D in

the processed food sector is required
on account of following:
Reduction of wastage and

spoilage of food and food
products.
Development of technologies and

methods for preservation of food
products.
Identification of new eco-friendly

and better packaging material and
development and standardization
of packaging technologies for
food products.
Fortification of staple food items

to improve nutritional quality.
Change and diversification in

food habits, preferences and
i m p r ove m e n t i n c o n s u m e r
perception towards food safety
leading to demand for varieties of
convenient food with the required
quality and standards.

ethnic and traditional food
products of the country with
greater emphasis towards food
safety.
increase in the farm productivity

thereby leading to enhancement
of farmers' income and generation
of employment opportunities.
8.3.1 FOOD TESTING LABORATORIES
(FTL)
(A) Need for focus on FTL:
There is requirement for the food
processing industry to (a) test domestic
production in order to ensure that it
complies with domestic standards as
well as international standards for
exports and (b) test all imports coming
into the country to ensure that they are
of the requisite standard and such
products as are not permitted for
manufacture domestically are not
allowed to come in from foreign
markets. The level of contaminants,
additives, and pesticide residues in food
items has to be monitored regularly.
Therefore, a network of food testing
and analysis laboratories is required to
support the Food Safety regulatory
activities and help the food processing
industry in regard to quality control
measures.
Deliverables/ Outcome of the R&D

Scheme:(i) It would benefit all stakeholders
including domestic industry,
consumers, exporters,
entrepreneurs, micro, small and
medium enterprises, academic
and research institutions, food
t e s t i n g l a b o r a t o r i e s, f o o d
standards setting bodies, regulator
and government.
(ii) The specific outcome of the
R&D scheme is creation of a
shelf of technologies and
innovative products and processes
which will be available to
industry for commercialization.
New products will enter the
market and raise the safety and
nutritional status of food items.
The R&D projects are also aimed
at enabling the scientific
community to understand and
work with the issues in the food
science area with a view to
evolving technological solutions
and new products and processes.
(iii) This in turn is expected to give
momentum to adoption of
improved agri-farm practices and
(B)
Objectives of the Scheme:

The major objectives of the Scheme
are:
(a) To establish a surveillance system
for monitoring the quality and
composition of food
(b) To analyse the samples received
from processing industries and
other stakeholders.
(c) To reduce the time for analysis of
samples by reducing transportation
time of samples.

PROMOTION OF R&D SCHEME NAT I O NA L WO R K S H O P O N

8.4.1 The development of food processing sector is

critically dependent on Research and
Development and there is a dearth of market
oriented R&D in the country. To promote
Industry- Academia connect, Ministry of
Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) in
association with Federation of Indian
Chambers of Commerce and Industry
(FICCI) has started annual series of R&D
workshops in food processing sector.
8.4.2 The first workshop on Research and
Development was organized on 31st July, 2009
at New Delhi. The theme of the workshop was
'New Perspectives in Research and
Development in Food Processing Industries'.
8.4.3 The second workshop was organized on 25th
November, 2010 at Mumbai. The theme of
the workshop was 'R&D in Food Sector and
Global Challenges and Solutions for
Maintaining Food Safety'.
8.4.4 The third edition of the workshop was
organized on 17th November, 2011 at
Mumbai with the theme, 'Technology for
Value Creation'.
8.4.5 The fourth edition of the workshop was
organized on 27th September, 2012 at
Mumbai with the theme, 'Open Innovation
& Collaborative Research'.
8.4.6 FICCI along with Ministry of Food
Processing Industries conducted the fifth
national workshop on Research and
Development in Food Processing Sector on

of the workshop was 'Food Research, Safety,

Trade and CODEX'. The workshop was
attended by around 150 delegates representing
academia, industry and government
institutions from India and abroad.
8.4.7 Any research outcome needs to be checked
before it reaches the market. Every country
has a set of standards and procedures to
establish product safety and it is of utmost
importance for the researchers to align
themselves with the latest standards to come
up with market ready products with fast
approvals from the regulators. India too has
recently revamped its domestic food safety
management system with the enforcement
of Food Safety and Standards Regulations in
2011. Internationally there are well
established models available in the area of
food safety including risk management,
surveillance and product approval and so on.
2013 being marked as fiftieth year of
CODEX became a unique occasion to have
global experts in this workshop.
8.4.8 At a national level there is also need to
address hurdles in validated data generation
and management. The country has a
network of food research institutes including
institutes with focus on specific commodity
(ies). This network can be developed and
leveraged to generate scientific data which
can support in securing our food safety and
trade concerns at international forums.
8.4.9 Accordingly, the workshop was divided into
three sessions, a) CODEX: Journey So Far
And Relevance of Codex In Times To Come;
b) Food Research Reaching Markets:
Decoding Global Food Safety Management
System and c) Industr y-AcademiaGovernment interface: How To Strengthen
India's Position With Validated Research
Data?

8.4.10 There were a total of 16 speakers in the

workshop hailing from India and abroad
including Chairman, Food Safety &
Standards Authority of India, Chair,
CODEX Alimentarious Commission, other
senior CODEX representatives, International
regulatory experts, heads of domestic
research institutions, experts from the
industry etc.

9.4.7 DRAFT INDIAN WINE STANDARDS
AND WINE-NET TRACEABILITY
SYSTEM.
(i)
Indian Wine Standards: Indian wine

industry has been growing at a faster
pace but there are no wine laws to
define various standards to check
frauds, safety of consumers while
inter national wine business is
controlled through appropriate wine
standards. At present there is only
Bureau of Indian Standards for wines
which are also not mandatory. In the
absence of Indian Wine Standards, the
quality of Wines made in India may be
questioned. It is also being observed
that wine producers are producing
different quality of wines for their
export and domestic markets. Since
India has become a member state of
International Organization of Vine
98

and Wine (OIV) it has to follow the
standards defined and practiced by
OIV member state including Europe.
The Indian Wine Standards are also
essential to check the quality and
standards of wines being imported in
India. The Indian Standards would
help in Brand building for wines
produced in India and ultimately
benefit the domestic consumers who
would also be able to have the
international quality wines.
(ii)
In India no data is available on the

standards to be followed in case of
wines. BIS have set voluntar y
standards but those are not elaborated
based on the scientific findings.
Further, the definition of the different
kinds of wines is absent in India to
define the category of the wines or
other products. However, OIV has
clearly defined the definitions of the
grapes, wines and other processed
products derived from grapes like
musts. These definitions are widely
accepted globally and therefore these
definitions have been considered for
making standards.
(iii) IGPB in association with National

Research Centre for Grapes (NRCG)
has drafted the Indian Wine Standards.
Consultation were also carried out with
the stakeholders before finalizing the
standards. These standards has been
submitted to Ministry of Food
Processing Industries for onward
forwarding to Food Safety Standards
Authority of India (FSSAI) for
notification and implementation.
(iv) Wine- Net: Wine-Net is a web based
Certification & Traceability system for

wine products produced in India. It's
an initiative of Indian Grape
Processing Board (IGPB) to address
the quality and origin issues of wine
domestically, which may also help in
exports in due course of time. The
wine-net system is based on the
" R E G U L AT I O N O N W I N E ,
GRAPE JUICE OR GRAPE MUST
FOR THE DOMESTIC AS WELL
AS EXPORTS TO OTHER
COUNTRIES" and acts as a
surveillance system to ensure the wine
produced and marketed adheres to the
Indian National Standards and
International Codex Standards for
Human Consumption.
9.5
NATIONAL MEAT AND POULTRY

PROCESSING BOARD (NMPPB)
9.5.1 Government of India has established the

National meat and Poultry Processing Board
(NMPPB) registered as a society under
Ministry of Food Processing Industries. The
formation of NMPPB was notified in the
Gazette of India extraordinary vide
notification No.127 dated 20th January,
2009. The Board was registered on 26th
March 2009 under the Societies Registration
Act, 1860.
9.5.2 The Board is functioning from leased
accommodation at 7/6, Association of
Municipalities & Development Authority
(AMDA Building), Siri Fort Institutional
Area, August Kranti Marg, New Delhi.

intervention in domestic meat and poultry
99

processing sector for its systematic
development.
9.5.4 Presently, the Interim Managing Committee
of NMPPB under the Chairmanship of
Secretary, Ministry of Food Processing
Industries has 11 other Members including
