The Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) is spearheading India’s food sector transformation through PMKSY, PLISFPI, and PMFME. These schemes aim to modernize infrastructure, incentivize manufacturing, and formalize micro enterprises, ensuring sustainable growth, reduced wastage, enhanced exports, and stronger rural economies aligned with India’s vision of self-reliance and innovation.
India’s food processing industry is undergoing rapid modernization as MoFPI strengthens its flagship programs Pradhan Mantri Kisan SAMPADA Yojana (PMKSY), Production Linked Incentive Scheme for Food Processing Industry (PLISFPI), and PM Formalization of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME). Together, these initiatives are designed to bridge farm-to-fork gaps, foster entrepreneurship, and create employment opportunities while boosting India’s global competitiveness.
Key Highlights
