KARNATAKA AGRIBUSINESS &FOOD PROCESSING POLICY 2015

December 2015 - January 2016 Issue No. 04

Women entrepreneurs make a significant contribution to the Indian economy and should be encouraged to participate in the MSME growth story. There are nearly three million MSME's with full or partial female ownership. Collectively, these women-owned enterprises contribute 3.09 percent of industrial output and employ over 8 million people. Approximately, 78 percent of women enterprises belong to the services sector. Women entrepreneurship is largely skewed towards smaller sized firms, as almost 98 percent of women-owned businesses are currently micro-enterprises.

The government has realized the importance of entrepreneurship as a prominent alternative to traditional wage employment in the new economy, and its role in increasing the pace of economic growth. Therefore, Government of Karnataka has come up with a special scheme to help women entrepreneurs for which Karnataka State Financial Corporation is the nodal agent. The scheme is available at a net interest rate of four percent. The salient features of the scheme are published in the issue for benefit of women entreprenerus of Karnataka.

The agro based industries in the State are spread across all the 30 districts. Currently, there are about 54,905 agro processing units with an investment of Rs.4,42,879 Lakhs and have employed 3,24,148 manpower. These are mainly in MSME sector. Agribusiness & Food Processing Sector in the State has witnessed a steady growth. Exports have increased from Rs.5158 crore in 2010-11 to Rs.11231 crore in 2014-15 registering a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 21%. Considering the importance of agro based industries in the State, Karnataka Agri Busiess & Food Processing Policy 2015 has been released by the Government of Karnataka during December 2015. The salient features are available in the present issue.

Interest Subsidy Scheme is available from GoK to encourage establishment of warehouses and cold storage around villages and towns. The financial assistance is available under the scheme at a net interest rate of four percent from Karnataka State Financial Corporation to the proprietary concern / partnership firms / farmers and interested parties belonging to farmers / farmer associations / self help groups / cooperative societies / agriculture produce / marketing committees /

farmer federation / NGOs. Interest subsidy from GoK is limited to 10% in the normal RoI on the loan amount. The promoter shall however repay the net of interest rate i.e., normal rate of interest less 10% interest subsidy from GoK.

Stories of successful entrepreneurs have been published in each issue to motivate the budding entrepreneurs and also existing industrialists to achieve higher goals in their respective avenues.

With the introduction of new schemes like Interest Subsidy Scheme for the first generation entrepreneurs at the rate of 8% for establishing new Micro and Small Industries backed by interest subsidy from GoK, Scheme for financing Solar Power Generation Projects and Scheme of Venture Capital Assistance for Agribusiness projects offering 26% of promoter equity from Small Farmers' Agri-Business Consortium (Ministry of Agriculture, GoI), the Corporation is expecting to lure more business from entrepreneurs of Karnataka.
