The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana (PMKSY)’s main objective is to enhance and modernize India’s whole food processing value chain, from the farm gate to the retail outlet, with an emphasis on lowering wastage, boosting value addition, and assuring higher returns for farmers. In order to generate money, create jobs, and encourage entrepreneurship in rural regions, PMKSY wants to revolutionize the agricultural industry.
The Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana’s primary goals typically include:
Construction of infrastructure, such as cold chains, integrated packhouses, processing facilities, and agro-processing clusters, is a key area of concentration for Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana. Establishing effective and integrated infrastructural facilities to lower post-harvest losses and increase the quality and shelf life of agricultural products is the main objective.
Employment Creation and Rural Entrepreneurship: PMKSY works to support rural entrepreneurship and employment prospects in the food processing industry. The program encourages the construction of food processing facilities, cold storage facilities, and agro-processing clusters, all of which help create both direct and indirect jobs in rural areas.
Market Access and Trade Promotion: The program places a strong emphasis on easing farmers’ and food processors’ access to markets. It encourages connections between domestic and foreign markets for processed agricultural products. To increase the competitiveness of Indian food products in domestic and international markets, PMKSY promotes branding, market development, and quality certification efforts.
