AGRO PROCESSING COMPLEXES
2. Why Agro Processing Complex?
Processing of farm produce
locally
Reduced transportation cost of
raw materials
Employment generation in
production catchment
Adulteration free product
Increased farm income
Migration check of unemployed
rural youth to urban areas
Ease of disposal of waste
SECURE INCOME
3. APC CONCEPT
Agro-processing complex is a place where
more than one crops are processed and
have the required facilities for handling,
processing and storage of cereals, pulses,
oilseeds and spices at village level.
4. Factors Favorable for the Development of
APCs at Rural Level
•Availability of Raw Material
(Wheat, paddy, oilseed, cotton, spices, pulses)
•Economic Gain
•Government Policies(subsidy)
•Employment Generation
•Nutritional Security
•Increased Purchasing Power
• Check on Post Harvest Losses
6. Salient Features
These complexes may
comprise of a mini rice
mill, baby oil expeller,
atta chakki (rajasthani),
flour mill, masala grinder
and feed mill. All these
complexes were found
to be economically
viable units, providing
employment to 2-5
persons.
9. Present Cost of Machines Required for APC

ECONOMIC VIABILITY
46. A brief plan and its proper execution helps in the
smooth operation for establishing Agro processing units.
An agro processing complex with 2 or more units is
capable of generating an income of Rs. 50,000-100,000
per month along with creating employment for 2-5
people.
AP Based industry seems to be available solution to
pull the farmers out of the current critical situation.
Transforming producer to processor
Offers a stable, economically viable and a socially
respectful opportunity of being an entrepreneur to the
rural population.
