FM talks about agriculture and food processing in India

The efforts for value addition in the agricultural sector and boosting farmers’ income will be stepped up.

Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana has benefitted 38 lakh farmers and generated 10 lakh employment.

Pradhan Mantri Formalisation of Micro Food Processing Enterprises Yojana has assisted 2.4 lakh SHGs and sixty thousand individuals with credit linkages.

Other schemes are complementing the efforts for reducing post-harvest losses and improving productivity and incomes.

To ensure faster growth of the sector, our Government will further promote private and public investment in post-harvest activities.
