PMFME SCHEME — PRADHAN MANTRI FORMALISATION OF MICRO FOOD PROCESSING ENTERPRISES

One District One Product

ODOP Directory Hub

ODOP identifies one signature product per district to build branding, market access and institutional support around it — now scaled nationwide to hundreds of districts.

How Products Get Selected

Since its 2018 launch, the ODOP framework has grown from a handful of pilot districts into the organising principle behind PMFME's cluster-based approach — most food-sector clusters supported under the scheme are, in effect, built around an ODOP-identified product for that district.

State governments typically weigh factors like existing production volume, concentration of traditional skill, raw material availability, and export or branding potential before finalising a district's product. The goal is to formalise and scale something that already has a natural local advantage, rather than introducing an entirely new industry from scratch.
