THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRIES; AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS (SHRI RAVNEET SINGH): (a): To assess the post-harvest losses in the country, Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) had commissioned two studies through Indian Council for Agricultural Research – Central Institute of Post-Harvest Engineering & Technology (ICAR-CIPHET), 2015 with reference year 2012-14 and NABARD Consultancy Service Pvt. Ltd (NABCONS), 2022 with reference year 2020-22. Since, the ICAR-CIPHET study had not captured category-wise and State-wise quantity losses of agricultural commodities whereas in the NABCONS study the total estimated percentage loss at the State level had been reported. Thus, the 11.12.2025 614 State-wise information of estimated percentage loss is placed at Statement-I and the category wise quantity loss of Post-Harvest losses of various agricultural produce in India is as under: Crops/ Commodities Estimated Quantity Loss As per NABCONS study (million MT) (2022) Cereals 12.49 Pulses 1.37 Oil Seeds 2.11 Fruits 7.36 Vegetables 11.97 Plantation Crops (including sugarcane and & Spices 30.59 Livestock produce (milk, meat and fish) 3.01 Egg* 7363 *For eggs, production in million numbers and price per eggs were taken (b) and (c): MoFPI through implementation of various initiatives and schemes viz. Pradhan Mantri Kisan SAMPADA Yojana (PMKSY), Prime Minister Formalization of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME) and Production Linked Incentive Scheme for Food Processing Industries (PLISFPI) aims for the overall development of food processing sector. Under various component of the aforementioned schemes, the MoFPI provides financial assistance for creation of modern infrastructure with efficient supply chain management from farm gate to retail outlet. The infrastructure created and assistance provided aims at providing better returns to farmers, creation of employment opportunities, reducing wastage, increasing the processing level and enhancing the export of the processed foods.
