Strengthening Supply Chains for Food Processing Units
The Backward and Forward Linkages Scheme, under the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI), provides financial assistance to food processing units for establishing strong connectivity with farmers (backward linkages) and markets (forward linkages). This ensures smoother raw material sourcing and better market access for processed products.
At SS Industrial Consultancy, we help businesses plan and execute linkage projects, prepare funding applications, and meet compliance requirements for subsidy approvals.
