Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (AIF) Scheme

Farmer Producer Company services in India

The Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (AIF) is a central government initiative aimed at boosting investment in post-harvest management infrastructure and community farming assets. This scheme offers financial assistance to farmers, Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs), agri-entrepreneurs, and other eligible entities to establish robust agricultural infrastructure. By focusing on projects like cold storage, warehouses, and primary processing units, the AIF promotes better profitability, reduces waste, and ensures sustainable agricultural practices. A well-structured project report is essential for availing benefits under AIF, outlining the feasibility and financial viability of proposed infrastructure projects.
