productivity and farmers income in the Country
 To assist the State Govts. in creating requisite synergy between their
agricultural plans and development of food processing sector
 To assist the State Governments in addressing both institutional and
infrastructural gaps along the Value Chains and thus create efficient Supply
Chains for agricultural produces
 To promote initiatives for skill development, training and entrepreneurship
 To assist MSMEs in setting up/modernization of processing units
 To assist food processing industry to meet requisite standards in terms of
food safety laws and market demand, both domestic and international
