Running from FY 2021-22 to FY 2026-27, this initiative, aligned with the International Year of Millets, aims to enhance millet adoption in food, incentivize production, and bolster export capacity. Under this scheme, 29 applicants have been sanctioned across 45 locations in India. Furthermore, BHARATI, an initiative launched by APEDA, supports agritech startups, driving innovation and export opportunities for young entrepreneurs. Millet-based units can also leverage benefits from other MoFPI schemes like PMFME and PMKSY.
