Under the PMFME (Prime Minister's Micro Food Processing Enterprises) scheme, a loan of up to 10 lakh has been offered by the government for the manufacture of products such as pickles, snacks, spices, etc. in the food processing sector. In this also there will be a grant of 35 percent. For this, the process of online application through Jeevika and District Industries Center has started.

Proper raw material is available in Bihar for setting up of enterprises in the field of food processing.
