WHY SELECTED FOR CASE STUDY:
The India Mega Food Parks Scheme is a relevant example of a government managed food distribution logistics project, similar to the ALC project in Uzbekistan. It is also an example of the challenges for the “one-stop shop” vision for food handling and distribution, which is also what is being considered by the Government of Uzbekistan. The fact that there are similar products, infrastructure and maturity levels of cold chain markets make it appropriate to explore. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT: A salient feature of the new MPFS scheme is that it operates in “hub and spoke model,” comprising Collection Centers (CCs), Primary Processing Centers (PPCs) and a Central Processing Center (CPC). The CPC is promoted as a hub. It has food processing units with industry-specific common infrastructure, packaging, environmental protection systems, quality control labs, testing facilities, and trade facilitation centers. This is connected with PPCs which offer cleaning, grading, sorting and packing facilities; dry warehouses; and specialized cold stores including pre-cooling chambers, ripening chambers, mobile pre-coolers and mobile collection vans. These PPCs in turn are connected with CCs which are managed by farmers, self- help groups or local entrepreneurs as farm level aggregation points for adjoining areas. The CPC, PPCs and CCs may be located in a radius of 100-120 km from the hub. The objective was to promote efficient supply chain management from farm gate to retail outlets. The CPC spreads over 50-100 acre of land for Central processing. In addition, 2-5 acre of land is required in surrounding region for setting up PPCs. These parks are implemented by Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs). The Central government offers financial assistance up to a maximum of Rs 500 million (approximately US$7,000.000) for common infrastructure and facilities for backward and forward linkages Under the 12th Plan, in 2012, the scheme entered the third phase when a scheme for ‘Mini Food Parks’ was also proposed to cater to the need for smaller states. The private developers of mini parks are proposed to be entitled to a maximum grant of Rs 200 million from the Central government.

While all food parks offer agglomeration economies, the MFPS introduced in 2007- 08 envisages a comprehensive backward linkage by tying up with farmers and traders to procure quality raw material from the farms. It also offers opportunity to tie up with multinational companies and large retailers for marketing by controlling the entire process from raw material procurement to preservation, testing and transportation facilities. In this ecosystem, food parks are integrated backwards with producers and forward with the consumer markets. Thus, the shift from traditional industrial food park to mega food parks has been a paradigm shift in policy making to develop the industry. Download 1.01 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
