3 A. BACKGROUND Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Corporation Ltd(UPSIDC) is a public sector undertaking of the Government of Uttar Pradesh spearheading the development of industrial infrastructure in the State since the last 56 years a pioneer in development of industrial areas, we have delivered iconic industrial Areas, townships & Industrial Parks on more than acres of land, which houses more than 26,000 units providing direct employment to lacs of people. Providing contemporary infrastructure facilities and services to our entrepreneurs as our objective, we strive to build on our strength as a pillar of the pulsating industrial ecosystem of Uttar Pradesh that contributes toward the economic, development of the State in particular & the Country in general. To cater to the modern demands of High-tech quality infrastructure, the Corporation has ventured into many new areas by developing High-tech integrated industrial townships like Trans Ganga and Saraswati High-tech cities and also sector specific industrial areas like Plastic Park, Agro Parks, Apparel Park, Leather Park, among others. Food processing industry in India has gained prominence in recent years. Availability of raw materials, changing lifestyles and appropriate fiscal policies have given a considerable thrust to industry s growth. This sector serves as a vital link between agriculture and industrial segments of the economy. Strengthening this link is of critical importance to reduce wastage of agricultural raw materials, improve the value of agricultural produce by increasing shelf-life, fortify the nutritive capacity of food products and ensure remunerative prices to farmers as well as affordable prices to consumers. The Ministry of Food Processing Industries has launched Infrastructure Development Scheme of Mega Food Park to provide state of the art infrastructure for food processing in the country and to provide a mechanism for producers, processors and retailers to work together to build the supply chain for enhanced value additions. UPSIDC intends to allot land to entrepreneurs and /or consortiums desirably having experience in food processing industry and/or development and management of the Industrial Parks for developing Mega Food Park at industrial areas Khimsepur, district Farrukhabad, Baheri, district Bareilly and Kosi kotwan extention II, district Mathura. The Developer/Implementing Agency/SPV (referred as developer here onwards) will undertake preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR), financial plan,development plan & implementation plan.the developer shall play a lead role in developing the project, bear development cost of the park and take up marketing & promotion of the park to attract investments from units in the Food Processing segment. UPSIDC will consider to allot land for implementation of the above mentioned Mega Food Park Projects on the basis of the EOIs received. B. PROJECT OBJECTIVE 1. To give an impetus to entrepreneurs/investors who are interested to setup or develop food Park for promoting food processing industries in Uttar Pradesh. 2. To provide ready to use land parcels with basic infrastructure for entrepreneurs/investors interested to set up units within the Park. 2

4 3. The expected outcome is increased realization for farmers, creation of high quality processing infrastructure, reduction in wastage, capacity building of producers and processors and creation of an efficient supply chain along with significant direct and indirect employment generation. C. PROJECT CONCEPT 1. The proposed Park is to be developed as a state-of-the-art industrial Park for entrepreneurs in related businesses to set up new food processing units within the park. 2. The Mega food park will provide common facilities such as water, electricity and effluent treatment plant apart from specialized facilities like cold storage, warehousing, logistics, backward and forward integration through the network of Primary Processing Centres (PPC) and Collection Centres (CC) connecting the Central Processing Centre (CPC). Thus Mega Food Park is an inclusive concept that aims to establish direct linkages from Farm to Processing to Consumer Markets. This structure is based on a Hub and Spoke model. The success of a Mega Food Park is hinged on the efficient logistics that link the CCs to PPCs to CPC. 3. The spirit of the Mega Food Parks Scheme is to facilitate setting up of only food processing industries. Accordingly, only food processing industries that make food products fit for human/animal consumption may be permitted to be set up in the Mega Food Parks. Packaging facilities of food products as ancillary to the food processing industries may also be allotted land in the Mega Food Parks. 4. The Park would be so developed so as to fulfil comprehensively the functional requirements in terms of common facilities, physical and social infrastructure amidst a green environment. Suggested components for the Park will include :- i. Basic Enabling Infrastructure facilities :- Developed land with boundary wall Approach Roads & Internal roads Drainage and Sewer Electrical distribution and Sub Station Street Lighting including High Masts Solid Waste Management Weigh-Bridge Telecommunication Lines Water supply Captive power plant, as standby power supply Effluent Treatment Plant & Sewage Treatment Plant Gate and Gate Cabin 3 ii. Noncore facilities:- Administrative Buildings Training Centres Trade & display center Creche & Canteen

5 4 iii. iv. Worker s Hostel Labour rest & Recreational facilities Bank/ Post Office/ Insurance office/ Police Station Fire Station & garage for Fire Brigade Central Processing Centre (CPC):- Common facilities like testing laboratory, cleaning facilities Dry ware house for raw materials Specialized storage facilities Hi-tech Cold storage facilities Cold chain infrastructure Food incubation cum development centres Packing Unit Ripening Chambers Cold Storage Primary Processing Centre (PPC) Dry Ware House Specialized cold stores Grading, sorting & Packing Facility etc. Mobile Collection Vans etc. & packing v. Specially Designed Factory sheds for MSME Units Ready to move in Sheds for MSME Units depending on the demand in the area. 5. The developer can avail financial assistance upto Rs.50 Crore per park from Ministry of Food Processing & Industries (MoFPI), Govt. Of India to set up modern infrastructure facilities for Food Processing at Mega Food Parks. For further reference please refer revised guidelines for Mega Food Park Scheme effective from ( 6_1.pdf) 6. The developer is free to develop the mega food park even without any financial assistance from MOFPI,Govt. Of India.
