Irradiation Facility Centre, Vashi:

In view of the travelling distance and keeping in mind the shelf life of mangoes
from Konkan and Marathwada region KRUSHAK irradiation facility owned by BRIT is
not convenient for export logistics. KRUSHAK Irradiator was holding capacity of 0.7
MTs per hour for mangoes. This limited capacity detains the mangoes for processing.
Also the travelling distance from orchards to Lasalgaon and further to airport is very
inconvenient considering the perishability of the produce. Accordingly MSAMB took
initiative and erected Irradiation facility at Vashi having 4 MTs irradiation capacity with
MSAMB’s fund and financial assistance from APEDA & RKVY. The total involvement in
the project is Rs. 29.36 Crores. The erection is complete and the facility is certified from
AERB & DAE. The Certification from USDA APHIS is in progress. This facility can be
used for fruits, vegetables and spices.
Vegetable Processing Facility, Vashi:

European Union has imposed ban on import of mangoes & five vegetables from
India. MSAMB took initiative and established a Vegetable Processing Facility at Vashi
with the assistance from APEDA & APMC Mumbai. Hot water treatment facility is
available at this facility for Okra, Chili, Bitter gourd, Brinjal & other vegetables. Pre-
cooling and cold storage is also available at the facility. This facility is made available
at the prime location of Vashi and hence this is the very important facility for fresh
vegetable export to Europe.
Vapor Heat Treatment, Vashi:

Indian Mangoes should undergo Vapor Heat Treatment before exporting to Japan &
New Zealand and MSAMB is uniquely holding this facility in the state of Maharashtra. In
the year under report, 197.22 MTs mangoes were vapour heat treated and 49.82 MTs
mangoes exported to New Zealand.
GlobalGAP Certification:
Global GAP certification for farm is mandatory for export of agri produce to
Europe. Till date 289 farms received GlobalGAP certification. MSAMB, from its own
funds, provide 50% subsidy on certification charges for Global GAP Certification.
19
Establishment of Mango & Cashew Board Cell :

Even though Mango & Cashew plantation is increasing day by day in India yet
special efforts are necessary to increase the productivity in Maharashtra. Also to
minimize the losses in post harvest handling and processing, scientific research is to be
undertaken. To promote and guide mango & cashew farmers from the State, Mango &
Cashew cell is established and cell has started functioning in Ratnagiri.
Agricultural Export Promotion Schemes:

To promote agricultural export MSAMB is executing various schemes as follows;
1) To guide farmers, cooperative societies / farmers’ organizations and private

exporters to avail Import – Export Code & APEDA (RCMC) registration.
2) To avail country wise and product wise list of importers.
3) To guide exporters about quality standards, packaging requirements and import
taxation for various destinations.

G) Agri Business Development

system in the State to reduce the chain of middlemen, which will help to improve the
income of farmers and also helps to supply fresh vegetables at fair rate to the
consumers. ABD section also trying to create new markets within the state as well as in
the country.
Producer to consumer direct sale scheme-

Direct marketing is selling agricultural produce product directly to the consumer
or end-user, rather than through a broker, distributor or wholesaler. Several factors
have led to a growing consumer interest in purchasing directly from farmers: the desire
for fresh, high-quality products; the ability to personally interact directly with farmers
who grew/raised the food; and interest in supporting local, small farms. Availability of
product information such as growing method, instructions about use, recipes, and taste
samples also draw customers to direct-marketing outlets.
The direct sale of alphonso mangoes from farmers to consumers is getting good
response with assurance of quality and no cheating. The Maharashtra State Agriculture
Marketing Board (MSAMB) has provided a direct marketing facility for farmers to sell
mangoes to consumers without middlemen. In this financial year, 59 farmers from
Devgad, Sindhudurg and Ratnagiri district have participated in the project through the
MSAMB office. The project started in the month of March and within four months,
farmers sold mangoes worth Rs 8 crore. This scheme started nine years ago and due
to its popularity, it doesn't need any publicity. Through word of mouth, consumers rush
to MSAMB to purchase mangoes every year.
Fruits and Grain Festival-

MSAMB arranges different seasonal fruit festival like Mango, Grapes, Pomogranates,
Oranges in Maharashtra State. In these fruit festival farmers sale their agri. produce
directly to the consumers. It benefits the farmers in terms of money. Through this
festivals consumer gets fresh & naturally ripped fruits and farmers are getting 30 to 40
percent more monetory benefits. Sponsorer of Fruits and Grain Festival will get the
subsidy as below –
1) Within Municipal Corporation – Rs.60,000/-

2) Dist. level – Rs.20,000/-
3) Taluka level – Rs.10,000/-
For the marketing & advertisement of Fruits and Grain Festival sponserer will be paid
Rs.10,000/-. Sponsorer neeed to build minimum of 10 & maximum of 50 stalls in the
festival.
In the year 2014-15 total 16 beneficieries participated in fruit & grain festival and total

Asian Development Bank Assisted Agribusiness Infrastructure

Development Investment Program (AIDIP)
The Agribusiness Infrastructure Development Investment Program (AIDIP) is a Project

of Government of Maharashtra (GoM), proposed to be implemented under Public-
Private-Partnership (PPP) framework. GoM has proposed to avail loans amounting $ 85
million from Asian Development Bank (ADB) to fund the viability gap under the
proposed project. In this project, private entrepreneur has to invest at least 60% of
project cost and remaining 40% of cost will be contributed by ADB and the State
Government in the ratio of 80:20 respectively. ADB funds will flow in the form of loan to
the State Government, to which Government of India (GoI) will act as a guarantor.
Department of Cooperation, Marketing and Textiles, Government of Maharashtra, is the

Executing Agency (EA) for the project and Maharashtra State Agricultural Marketing
Board (MSAMB) is Implementing Agency (IA).
1. AIDP is aimed at addressing three main constraints to agriculture growth – i)

outdated technologies; ii) lack of public investment in basic infrastructure and iii)
limited crop diversification. With the help of Integrated Value Chain (IVC)
approach, the program targets improving physical and institutional linkages
along agricultural value chains through creation of agribusiness market
infrastructure; provision of support infrastructure like last mile roads, power,
water, systems relating to market intelligence, and capacity building and
strengthening/establishing value chain linkages.
2. The intent of the program is to achieve accelerated investment in agriculture and

to support related infrastructure in rural areas, along the Integrated Value
Chains. The interventions intends to target several or all of the following:
a) Aggregation facilities
b) Sorting, grading, packaging
c) Storage (ambient and controlled temperature)
d) Value addition and market intelligence
e) Distribution facilities including logistics
f) Value chains for end-to-end linkages
3. Project interventions have been configured in Hub and Spoke model in such a
way that commodities grown in a geographic region of identified value chains
could be collected as close to the field as possible for preservation and
enhancement of value.
In the first phase two IVCs will be established as a pilot project in the -
• Nashik Region – (Estimated project cost Rs. 72 cr.)
• Aurangabad-Amravati Region - (Estimated project cost Rs. 27 cores)
49
• It is expected that approximately 13-15 IVCs shall be established across the

state up to 2017.
4. Capacity Building - Japan fund for Poverty Reduction (JFPR) has provided
grants through ADB to implement “Improving Small Farmers’ Access to Market in
Maharashtra”. Farmers/producers growing the focus crops in IVC areas are to be
organized into groups and federated in Producer Companies to strengthen
backward linkage. In this project, more than 20,000 farmers are to be trained in
first two IVCs.
5. Major benefits from the project are -

• Better price realization to the farmers.
• Reduction of wastage.
• Employment generation.
• Better quality agri-produce reaching the consumer with enhanced shelf life.
• Improved handling, packaging and storage.
• Enhanced capacities and skills of stakeholders.
Activities Completed:
• For effective implementation of AIDIP Project, an independent Project
Management Unit (PMU) has been established under Maharashtra State
Agricultural Marketing Board (MSAMB).
• For selection of concessioners for Nashik and Aurangabad-Amravati region

IVCs, based on inputs received from interested investors during Pre-bid
meetings, RfQ documents were modified and last date for submission of RfQ
was extended to attract more investors. In due period total five applicants
submitted their RfQ proposals for each IVC. However, the bid process was
canceled as none of the investors submitted their detailed proposal.
• Empowered Committee on Agricultural Marketing (ECAM), chaired by Hon. Chief

Secretary, Maharashtra State in its meeting held on 27th March, 2014 approved
changes in project structure. This includes major changes like permission to use
of private land for project development, increasing concession period to 25 years
instead of 20 years, allowing bidding for individual spoke instead of entire value
chain etc.
• In order to disseminate the changes in project structure among the investors and
to understand the investor’s perspective in developing agriculture post harvest
infrastructure, to understand the critical factors and to augment the private sector
participation in agriculture infrastructure, Government of Maharashtra and Asian
Development Bank (ADB) organized an interactive Roadshow on 5th December
2014 at Mumbai which was attended by senior Government officials, ADB and
PMU representatives, sector experts and representatives of 18 companies.
Following this, apropos to the suggestion of Dept. of Economic Affairs (DEA),
50
MoF, GoI, three regional road shows were also organized at Nagpur,
Aurangabad and Pune.
• The project documents are being drafted to accommodate changes suggested

by ECAM and investors in roadshow and fresh bids shall be invited shortly.
• JFPR project is being implemented in Nashik and Aurangabad-Amravati region

IVCs. Under JFPR project capacity development of farmers is envisaged. To link
farmer groups with various marketing channels, crop wise buyer – seller
meetings were conducted. 18 farmer producer companies (FPCs) are registered
under companies Act and their activities are being monitored by the project
through Business Development Facilitators (BDFs). BDFs are working with FPCs
to increase share capital and members, to collect crop wise production data,
preparation of business plan and linking PCs with various marketing channels.
• Regional meetings and primary survey were conducted to identify land, crops,
required infrastructure in second phase proposed 4 IVCs i.e. Solapur- Sagali,
Latur – Nanded, Nagpur- Amravati and Dhule- Nandurbar. TAG 2 consultant
(KPMG) has completed Environmental and social impact assessment study and
prepared Detail Project Report (DPR) for proposed 4 IVCs considering the
cropping pattern and existing post-harvest facilities. Bid process flow is being
prepared considering changes suggested by ECAM and investors in roadshow
with the help of state PPP Cell and TAG 2 consultant.
