Abstract: The demand for food and value-added healthy products in the world grows at a vast rate every year. However, the post-harvest loss (PHL) in the Indian agricultural sector is a great dip to the value addition and the country’s economy. The Government of India (GOI) thus proposed a vision known as Mega Food Park Scheme (MFPS) to couple farmers to the food processors. This assists in reducing the PHL, thereby improving the manufacturing infrastructure, direct and indirect employment, export rate, etc. The main purpose of this review is to illustrate the scheme of the MoFPI and disclose the working milieu of the mega food parks based on the primary objectives set by the Mega Food Park Scheme, their growth to the agricultural sector and the generation of value addition to the consumers.
