Sampada Scheme: Modernizing Food Processing and Reducing Agricultural Waste

 Launched in May 2017, the Sampada Scheme aims to bolster the agriculture sector by modernizing food processing and minimizing agricultural waste. Its core objective is to revitalize the food processing industry in India by encouraging the development of modern infrastructure and ensuring efficient supply chain management from the farm gate right up to retail outlets.

The scheme targets the creation of state-of-the-art facilities that streamline the entire food processing chain, reduce post-harvest losses, and improve product quality. By enhancing processing capabilities and improving logistics, Sampada seeks to add value to agricultural produce, increase farmers’ incomes, and generate employment opportunities across the country.

Through these efforts, the Sampada Scheme plays a crucial role in making India’s food processing sector more competitive and sustainable, benefiting both producers and consumers alike.
