Pradhanmantri Kisan Sampada Yojna SAMPADA is a comprehensive package which will result in creation of modern infrastructure with efficient supply chain management from farm gate to retail outlet. It will not only provide a big boost to the growth of food processing sector in the country but also help in providing better prices to farmers and is a big step towards doubling of farmers income, creating huge employment opportunities especially in the rural areas, reducing wastage of agricultural produce, increasing the processing level and enhancing the export of the processed foods. The following schemes are being implemented under SAMPADA Mega Food Parks Integrated cold Chain and Value Addition Infrastructure. Creation / Expansion of Food Processing & Preservation Capacities. Infrastructure for Agro-processing Clusters. Creation of Backward and forward Linkages. Food Safety and Quality Assurance Infrastructure. Human Resources and Institutions. SAMPADA is expected to leverage investment of Rs.31400 Crore, handling of 334 Lakh MT Agro-Produce valuing Rs.1,04,125 Crore, benefit 20 Lakh farmers and generate 5,30,500 direct / indirect employment in the Country by the year 2019-20.
