The Mega Food Park is an inclusive concept which is aimed at establishing direct linkages from the farm to processing and on to the consumer markets, through a network of collection centres and Primary Processing Centres,so as to ensure maximizing value addition, minimizing wastage, increasing farmers’ income and creating employment opportunities particularly in rural sector. The Mega Food Park Scheme is based on “Cluster” approach and envisages a well-defined agree/ horticultural-processing zone containing state-of-the art processing facilities with support infrastructure and well-established supply chain.

Ministry of Food Processing Industries, GoI operates the “Mega Food Park” scheme to strengthen the Value Added Processing for Food Crops. The financial assistance under the scheme is provided in the form of grant-in-aid @ 50% of eligible project cost in general areas and @ 75% of eligible project cost in NE Region and difficult areas (Hilly States and ITDP areas) subject to maximum of Rs. 50 crore per project.The scheme aims to facilitate the establishment of a strong food processing industry backed by an efficient supply chain, which includes Collection Centres, Primary Processing Centers(PPC), Central Processing Center (CPC) and Cold Chain infrastructure.The minimum land required for a Central Processing Centre in Mega Food Park is 50 acre and implementation period is 30 months. The scheme is demand-driven and would facilitate food processing units to meet environmental, safety and social standards.

Ministry received 72 proposals and after going through a stringent and transparent process of scrutiny, 17 suitable proposals from 11 States of the country have been selected and approved for implementation.

 This step of the Government will create huge modern infrastructure for food processing sector and provide impetus to the growth of the sector. These 17 newly selected Mega Food Parks are likely to attract investment of around Rs. 2000 crore in modern infrastructure, additional collective investment of around Rs. 4000 crore in 500 food processing units in the Parks and an annual turn-overofRs. 8000 crore.These Parks, when fully functional, will create employment for about 80000 persons and benefit about 5 lakh farmers directly and indirectly.

8 Mega Food Parks namely Patanjali Food and Herbal Park, Haridwar, Srini Food Park, Chittoor, North East Mega Food Park, Nalbari, International Mega Food Park, Fazilka, Integrated Food Park,Tumkur, Jharkhand Mega Food Park, Ranchi, Indus Mega Food Park, Khargoan and Jangipur Bengal Mega Food Park, Murshidabad are functional.

The park will provide common facilities such as water, electricity and effluent treatment apart from specialized facilities like cold storage, ware housing, logistics and backward integration through the network of primary processing centres and collection centres.

Due to Common facilities like Cold Chain, Testing Facilities, etc, the entrepreneurs choose to set up their units in the Food Park.

We can provide you detailed project report on Mega Food Park, which will cover all the listed below points.
