1. Ministry of Food Processing Industries Prospects of Cold Chain Infrastructure in Eastern Region 06.04.2015

2. Launched in FY 2008-09 with the underlying objectives : Scheme for Cold Chain, Value Addition and Preservation Infrastructure To provide integrated and complete cold chain and preservation infrastructure facilities without any break, from the farm gate to the consumer To enable linking groups of producers to the processors and market through well equipped supply chain To establish value addition with infrastructural facilities like sorting, grading, packaging and processing of produce. To arrest Post Harvest Horticulture & Non Horticulture(Dairy, Marine,Meat etc) losses

3.  Minimal Processing Centre at farm level  facilities such as weighing, sorting, grading waxing, packing, pre-cooling, Controlled Atmosphere (CA) / Modified Atmosphere (MA) cold storage, normal storage and IQF  Mobile pre-cooling vans and reefer trucks  Distribution hubs  multi product and multi CA /MA chambers, cold storage /Variable Humidity Chambers, Packing facility, CIP Fog treatment, IQF and blast freezing  Irradiation facility To avail financial assistance, any two of the above components, to be part of project Irradiation facility treated as a stand alone project Eligible Project Components

4.  50% of the Bank Appraised cost of Plant & Machinery and Technical Civil Work in General Areas  75% for NE Region and difficult areas( North Eastern States, Sikkim, J&K, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand)  Subject to a maximum grant-in-aid of Rs. 10 crore per project Pattern of Assistance
