Operation Greens Scheme
The Ministry of Food Processing Industries is the Ministry behind the introduction of the Operation Greens scheme. In 2018-19, Finance Minister announced the inauguration of the Operation Greens scheme which was based on the lines of ‘Operation Flood’. A sum of Rs. 500 crores was given by the Ministry for Operation Greens to boost agri-logistics, facilities related to processing, professional management and the Farmer Producers Organizations. It will take care that the Tomato, Onion and Potato (TOP) should be made available every season without instability in the price of these crops and should be supplied throughout the country. Later on, in 2020 all the fruits and vegetables were included in the scheme for 6 months on a pilot basis.
