Modernization
of Pulses Processing Plants
The Ministry estimates post-harvest
losses from time to time for various agri-produces in the country through commissioning of studies based
on primary surveys. Two studies were commissioned by the Ministry through (i) Indian Council of Agriculture Research-Central Institute
of Post-Harvest Engineering & Technology (ICAR-CIPHET), 2015; and (ii) NABARD
Consultancy Services Pvt. Ltd (NABCONS), 2022. As per
these two studies, the estimates of post-harvest loss in pulses ranged from:
6.36% – 8.41% (ICAR-CIPHET, 2015)
5.65% - 6.74% (NABCONS, 2022)
The Ministry of Food Processing
Industries through implementation of various schemes under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan
Sampada Yojana (PMKSY) create post-harvest infrastructure
and processing facilities, to boost the overall development of the food processing
sector including reduction in post-harvest losses, enhancing value addition etc.
So far, the Ministry has approved 5 units for pulses processing under the Creation/Expansion
of Food Processing /Preservation Capacities(CEFPPC) scheme
of PMKSY out of which 3 projects have been completed. The details are at Annex.
