About the scheme

• The Ministry of Food Processing Industries has signed an agreement with NAFED for the development of 10 brands selected under One District One Product.
• To benefit the consumers all the products are packed in a unique way that is attractive, ensuring a longer shelf life of the products and keeping the moisture content and sunlight at bay.

• Each brand would be supported with investments in brand communication in relevant markets and a strong push on digitization in the value chain.
• This initiative will enable the promotion of local products, encouraging the micro food processing enterprises across the country towards the vision, efforts of the government to make them self-reliant.
