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.

Region wise cold storage clusters shall be developed and dedicated railways shall be allotted to those regions for effective transportation. Normally the scarce storage spaces are blocked by companies or rich farmers & then they do profiteering. Just like Jan Dhan Yojana, Small farmers storage scheme shall be pronounced. The storage houses shall be encouraged to store produce of small and marginal farmers. Effective logistic parks shall be developed to cater to the needs of storage & transport

Sir, I want to address the issue regarding the sale of alcohol and tobacco, these product should be banned totally, or atleast should not be available near schools, colleges, offices. These are the hazard for the health of individual as well as society.
