Required Infrastructure

Cold Chain & Strategic Distribution Centre scheme targets setting up of centers with infrastructure facilities like material handling equipment, refrigeration, IQF/ blast freezing, ancillary equipments i.e. X-ray, weigh bridge, substation, electric system, Cold storages (CA/ MA), specialized storage, packing, etc to handle a wide range of perishable or processed food products. These centers will form the last point for export of 2 processed foods and also provide the much-needed forward linkage to the supermarkets and malls in the metropolises.

Modern Abattoir (Modernization of existing abattoirs/ setting up of modern abattoir) scheme targets infrastructure for the meat processing industry i.e. Modernization of abattoirs. The main objectives of the scheme are a) Scientific and hygienic slaughtering (b) Stunning, causing least pain to the cattle/ minimizing transportation of animals (c) Better by product utilization/value addition and providing chilling facility to prevent microbial activity in slaughtered animals.

Setting up/up gradation of Food Control Lab:Scheme for setting up/up-gradation of Food Testing Laboratories targets to establish a network of food testing laboratories in the country to facilitate food regulatory bodies, food processing industries and other stakeholders, so as to ensure the quality and safety of food products. It is proposed to establish/ up-grade eighty four (84) food testing laboratories in various parts of the country during 11th plan and develop a mechanism for networking of these laboratories with the objectives: (a) to ensure compliance with National/ International food standards, (b) to analyze the samples received from food processing industries, and other stakeholders, (c) to reduce the time of analysis of samples by reducing transportation time of samples, (d) to generate scientific data on levels of contaminants, pesticide residue etc. In addition, The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India proposed to be established under the provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, has been empowered to recognize the food testing laboratories in Government and Private sector. The proposed Food Authority may recognize labs in each State/district and also lay standards for testing of the food products. Setting up / up-gradation of food testing laboratories are needed for better regulation of food standards by the Food Authority and State Governments.

To make the Plan Scheme more attractive during 11th Plan, the Ministry has proposed a revised the existing scheme for setting up/up-gradation of Quality Control Laboratory to strengthen the food-testing infrastructure in the country. Under the 11th plan scheme increased level of financial assistance has been proposed for private sector for components of lab equipments and building for housing the lab. The scheme may also be implemented on a PPP basis.

As the above said schemes are complex in nature and involves multi-disciplinary skills, it is proposed to appoint reputed and experienced consultants as Programme Management Agencies (PMA) with experience in development and financing of industrial clusters, infrastructure on PPP basis. The scheme envisages technical and managerial assistance to the potential stakeholders, through a professional Project Management Agency (PMA) who would assist the Ministry as well as the industry from concept to commissioning. MFPI will engage a Project Management Agency, through competitive bidding, for conducting feasibility studies on the proposed schemes, to do project development, monitoring and evaluation of projects, appraise various projects, and help the Ministry in approving projects , release of grant and its judicious utilization.
