India is the World’s second largest producer of Fruits & Vegetables. However, the processing of perishable products in our country is very low, in comparison to the developed countries or developing countries like China, Brazil, Malaysia, Vietnam, etc. One of the main constraints in the growth of processing of fruits & vegetables in the country is non-availability of modern and suitable infrastructure with efficient supply Chain. Consequently, there is very high level of wastage of the fruits & vegetables in the country resulting in the farmer not getting adequate remuneration for his yield. A study conducted by Central Institute of Post Harvesting Engineering Technology (CIPHET), Ludhiana, an ICAR institute, reveals that wastage in various agricultural crops in the country range from 6-18% and the highest loss has been shown in fruits and vegetables.

Ministry of Food processing Industries invites views/ suggestions for reduction of these losses.

Last date for sending your suggestions is 1st February 2015.

The Group A and B officers of Central Govt. Services are reimbursed the cost of newspapers and magazines, telephone / mobile calls. Even though they can afford for the same, almost all of them submit inflated bills so this too in one type of corruption and needs to be curbed. Such type of reimbursements must be stopped as a first step towards austerity measures announced by Govt. recently.

On Radio, Please do not limit to explaining what we are doing to get the black money back. Pls tell the nation the plans you have- to ensure black-money free nation. Pls explain the importance of Jan Dhan Yojna. Through a reform,100% transactions can be on-line through banks by plastic cards. And over a period all major denomination currency notes shall cease to exist. That leads to corruption/black-money free nation.That's possible only when 100% people have bank accounts. Jai Hind

To fullfil the need of India most imp is the management of transportation from producers to consumers.A group or committee should be formed so that they transport it within a week or so after harvesting.

FREEZE DRYING PLANTS FOR FRUITS &VEGETABLES- IF BUILT NEAR METRO CITIES-WILL CREATE GOOD MARKET, AS IN THESE CITIES BUYING CAPACITY WILL ALSO BE THERE.FREEZE DRIED PRODUCTS WILL HAVE THE ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGE OF RETAINING THE NUTRIENTS OF THE FRUIT / VEGETABLE BROUGHT FROM THE FARM, ESPECIALLY FROM AN ORGANIC FARM. .
