India Considers ₹28,000 Crore for Food Processing Schemes

The Indian government is thinking about spending ₹28,000 crore over the next five years to help farmers with food processing.

This money will go to two big programs: one helps small food businesses grow and get better technology, and the other helps build things like cold storage and food testing labs.

The goal is to make farming more profitable and create jobs.

The government wants to connect farmers to bigger markets so they can sell their products for better prices.

They also updated the rules for small businesses, so more can get help.

Experts say this is a good start, but the government needs to make sure farmers are really connected to these markets for the plan to work well.
