Agricultural Extension is not a part of the National Food processing Mission.

Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) launched a Centrally Sponsored Scheme - National Mission on Food Processing (NMFP) to be implemented through State / UT Governments during 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17). The scheme aimed at decentralization of implementation of the schemes, leading to substantial participation of State Governments/UTs. The State / UT Governments were given flexibility in implementing the schemes included in the NMFP based on the needs of local area.
