The Mega Food Parks Scheme (MFPS) of MOFPI has been envisaged to help in the creation of enabling infrastructure for food processing and a comprehensive “farm-to-plate” supply chain system. These Parks would be providing state-of-the-art infrastructure for food processing in the country on a pre-identified cluster basis. This is aimed at reducing wastages and ensuring value addition, especially in perishables like fruits and vegetables.
