Value addition & supply chain support

        Pradhan       Mantri     Kisan    Sampada        Yojana     is
        modernising supply chain infrastructure in the
        agricultural sector.

        19 mega food parks have been established to  benefit
        the farmers. This helps to  add value to farmers’
        produce and increase profitability through food
        processing.

        119  new  cold  chain  projects  are  ongoing,  which
        will benefit over 11 lakh farmers. Cold chains are
        necessary for farmers, especially  to store and
        transport perishable commodities.

        Kisan Rail helps build a national cold supply chain
        for perishables, aiding farmers to transport their
        produce farther than ever.

        Kisan  Udaan  helps  take  agri-products  to national
        and international routes, making our farmers turn
        into exporters.

        A farmer friendly mobile application Kisan Rath app
        helps facilitate the farmers and traders in search
        of transportation vehicles for transportation of
        agri-products.
