The government seems to be cautious about the construction of units associated with food processing and preservation capacity and the modernization of already built units. This is the reason that the government has decided to give 35% of the cost of grants in this area. This grant will be given for construction up to a maximum of 5 crores.
The scheme includes processing of fruits and vegetables, milk, meat/poultry/fish, breakfast cereals/snacks/bakeries, cereals/pulses, oils, etc.
The purpose of this grant is to develop processing and preservation capabilities in the country and in addition to modernizing and expanding the existing food processing units.
