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. 12 MINISTRY OF FOOD PROCESSING Annual Report 2013-14 Contribution of Food Processing Industries to Gross Domestic Product at 2004-05 Prices (Rs.

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 S.No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Primary Processing Secondary Processing Retailing that its original physical properties undergo a change and if the transformed product is 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. 2.8 RAW MATERIAL BASE OF THE FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRY: 2.8.1 In the last 5 years ending 2012-13, the horticulture sector has shown an average growth rate of 4.43 per cent.

A nation-wide study on quantitative assessment of harvest and postharvest losses for 46 agricultural produces in 106 randomly selected districts was carried out by CIPHET, Ludhiana. 21 MINISTRY OF FOOD PROCESSING Annual Report 2013-14 2.13.2 The study mainly considers the quantitative loss as the material rendered “unfit for human consumption”. The different stages considered for assessment of losses are harvesting, collection, threshing, grading/ sorting, winnowing/cleaning, drying, packaging, transportation, and storage depending upon the commodity. 2.13.3 The report of the study was released in 2010. The study has estimated harvest and postharvest losses of major agricultural produces at national level was of the order of Rs. 44,143 crore per annum at 2009 wholesale prices. Percentage of losses estimated for major produces Crop Cumulative wastage (per cent) Cereals 3.9 – 6.0 per cent Pulses 4.3-6.1 per cent Oil seeds 2.8-10.1 per cent Fruits & Vegetables 5.8-18.0 per cent Milk 0.8 per cent Fisheries (Inland) 6.9 per cent Fisheries (Marine) 2.9 per cent Meat 2.3 per cent Poultry 3.7 per cent Source: CIPHET Study on post-harvest losses, 2010 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. 2.14 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 MINISTRY OF FOOD PROCESSING Annual Report 2013-14 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 on–farm 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 MINISTRY OF FOOD PROCESSING Annual Report 2013-14 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. 24 MINISTRY OF FOOD PROCESSING 25 26 Annual Report 2013-14 3 CHAPTER RECENT INITIATIVES 27 Annual Report 2013-14 CHAPTER-3 RECENT INITIATIVES 3.1 LONG TERM STRATEGIES related initiatives at the level of stakeholders. 3.1.1 The XII Plan document recognizes the importance of the food processing sector. Some of the key strategies set out in the document are as follows:• Setting up of National Mission on Fo o d P r o c e s s i n g t o i m p r o v e coordination and implementation of schemes and to enable greater involvement of State Governments. • Expanding and modifying existing infrastructure development schemesMega Food Parks Scheme, Integrated Cold Chain Scheme. • Moder nization of Abattoirs Establishment of new abattoirs and modernization of existing abattoirs. • Develop and strengthening of existing and new institutions. • Taking up a nation-wide skill development programme along the lines of special projects for skill development of rural youths under SGSY of MoRD. • Putting in place a network of food testing labs (Government/Private) by providing incentives. • Encouragement for larger participation in Codex deliberations and setting up/ strengthening of Codex cell in FSSAI to promote, coordinate and monitor • 3.2 Setting up of an Innovation Fund and Venture Capital Fund for Food Processing to promote innovations and technology development.

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 MINISTRY OF FOOD PROCESSING Annual Report 2013-14 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 on- line 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.

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 MINISTRY OF FOOD PROCESSING Annual Report 2013-14 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 MINISTRY OF FOOD PROCESSING Annual Report 2013-14 (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 on- going 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.

Ltd., Vadodara, Gujarat have been cancelled for failing to make satisfactory progress in implementation. (iii) In August 2013, the CCEA approved taking up 12 more Mega Food Parks during 12th Plan as per the existing pattern of assistance of 11th Plan. The CCEA also approved sanctioning of the projects against cancellation/ withdrawal of the projects approved by the Ministry during the 11th and 12th plan within the Plan Allocation of the scheme as per the 11th Plan pattern of financial assistance of the Scheme. The Ministry has accorded In-principle approval to the 10 projects. The projects are in the process of meeting the requirement of final approval. Out of the total 42 Mega Food Park projects approved by the Govt., the Ministry has accorded final approval to 19 projects, In-principle approval to 40 projects. Ministry has issued EOI on 10.02.2014 to invite application for setting up Mega Food Parks against the vacant slots and cancellation of the projects. 5.2.3 Pattern of Financial Assistance Financial assistance is provided for grant-inaid @ 50% of project cost excluding cost of land in general areas and @ 75% in NER and difficult areas, subject to a maximum of Rs. 50.00 crore for setting up of a Mega Food Park. 5.2.4 Current status of Implementation During the financial year 2013-14, Ministry has released grant-in-aid of Rs.91.68 crores to the ongoing Mega Food Park projects. Status of implementation of the 40 projects is at AnnexureIII. Two Mega Food Park projects one each at Haridwar (Uttarakhand) and Chittoor (Andhra Pradesh) have become partially operational. About 24 units are functioning in these parks providing employment to more than 5000 people directly and indirectly. Four more mega food parks projects are 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 MINISTRY OF FOOD PROCESSING Annual Report 2013-14 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 Processing Centre (CPC) is spread over 70 acres on Laksar Road (in Haridwar district) and six Primary Processing Centres (PPCs) to feed processing activities at the CPC are being set up at Lal Tappar, Kotdwar, Daudpur Haji, Budhana, Devprayag and Bazpur. The project possesses state-of-the-art processing infrastructure like cold storage, Tetra Pack, warehousing, ripening chambers, sorting & grading line, IQF, grain milling and world class quality testing laboratory among others. CPC is also equipped with enabling basic infrastructure facilities like roads, drainage, STP, ETP, WTP, rainwater harvesting, 11 KVA electrical supply and 33 KVA sub-station, administration building, and workers' canteen. At present 17 processing units are functioning in the park providing employment to over 5000 people directly or indirectly. These units are engaged in the production of candy, juice, murabba, flour, spices etc. State-of-the-art packaging facilities are also available to these units. The cumulative turnover of these industries is over Rs. 250.00 crore annually. Once the PPCs are fully operational, immense benefits will accrue to the farmers through complete backward and forward linkages. 50 MINISTRY OF FOOD PROCESSING Annual Report 2013-14 National Conference on Mega Food Parks “Attracting Investment in Food Processing Sector”, Hyderabad 5.4 SCHEME FOR COLD CHAIN, VALUE ADDITION AND PRESERVATION INFRASTRUCTURE To encourage setting up of backward & forward linkages in the agricultural supply chain in the country, to minimize the post-harvest losses and to enhance the value addition in the agricultural produce, Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MFPI) launched the Scheme of Cold Chain, Value Addition and Preservation Infrastructure in the year 2008 to create integrated supply chain infrastructure in the country. 51 MINISTRY OF FOOD PROCESSING Annual Report 2013-14 5.4.1 S A L I E N T F E AT U R E S O F T H E SCHEME • • • • Scheme provides integrated and complete cold chain facilities without any break from the farm gate to the consumer, Pre-cooling facilities at production sites, reefer vans and mobile cooling units are also covered as part of the project.

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 MINISTRY OF FOOD PROCESSING Annual Report 2013-14 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. 55 MINISTRY OF FOOD PROCESSING Annual Report 2013-14 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. 5.5 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 MINISTRY OF FOOD PROCESSING Annual Report 2013-14 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 The Ministry of Food Processing Industries had taken up 10 projects under this scheme during 11th Plan.

(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 MINISTRY OF FOOD PROCESSING Annual Report 2013-14 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.
