Madhya Pradesh emerging as India's ‘Food Basket’

Friday, 14 February 2025 | Staff Reporter | BHOPAL

Madhya Pradesh's fertile land is not just producing abundant crops but also opening new doors for innovation, sustainable development, and global investment. The government is inviting investors from around the world to be part of this transformative initiative. Leveraging its rich agricultural tradition and advanced farming techniques, the state has positioned itself as the "Food Basket" of India. Madhya Pradesh has won seven Krishi Karman Awards so far, showcasing its strength in the agricultural sector.

The White Revolution is rapidly expanding in Madhya Pradesh. Between 2012 and 2023, the state has witnessed a significant rise in milk production. This growth has been strengthened by initiatives such as the Dairy Investment Accelerator, which fosters a favorable environment for investors and promotes the dairy industry. Madhya Pradesh is steadily improving its national ranking in milk production and availability. The state's per capita milk availability (591 grams per day) places it in sixth position nationally. The state's CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 8.60% surpasses the national average of 6.18%. In 2023, Madhya Pradesh contributed 8.73% to India's total milk production.

The state government is actively promoting Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in food and dairy processing through various incentive schemes. These include industrial development subsidies, financial support for patents and quality certifications, and electricity tariff rebates.

Under the Pradhan Mantri Formalization of Micro Food Processing Enterprises (PMFME) Scheme, food processing units are receiving credit-linked subsidies, which are boosting new investments in the sector.

The state government is offering special incentives to large industries investing over R50 crore. These incentives include benefits for export-oriented units, support for green industrialization, and infrastructure development in food processing, such as cold chain and warehousing facilities. These efforts are propelling the food and dairy industry in Madhya Pradesh to new heights, strengthening the state's economy, and making a significant contribution to India's food and dairy processing sector. staff reporter n BHOPAL
