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.

Dear Sir In this today's world why there is an act called 'Harizan Act'.A person can be arrested just because he is complained against by a Harizan and not by being really guilty.No body in our country has to be looked down upon but there should be a proper way to protect their rights.

1. Faster commute and transportation - Farmer-friendly (Farmer only) trains/buses etc. 2. Better and efficient cold storage (subsidised electricity to cold storage owners who have efficient cold storages in good condition). 3. Awareness and education for Farmers/growers. 4. Growers-Consumers direct linkage (official/legal weekly or monthly markets). 5. Pricing regulation (so that unnecessary price hike doesn't prevent customers from buying products).

The situation in Madipur poses problem and opportunity. The area boasts of a famous Shiv Mandir with great tourist potential. The cows should be removed from the roads and vehicles shouldnot be allowed to be parked all along the divider

Sir, Madipur in West Delhi boasts of a famous Shiv Mandir which is said to have been built by Pandavas. The area derives its name from King Pandu's wife Madri (mother of Nakul and Sahadev) who is said to have lived there. On Madipur Shiv Mandir Road, near the Shiv Mandir, cows all over the place. People feed them there. Cow dung and urine make the roads slippery causing pedestrians to slip and vehicles to skid. Cars parked in along the divider. MCD unresponsive to our problems

फसले समय पर बिके, इसके लिए उन फसलों का क्या उपयोग हो सकता है, उसकी व्यवस्था निकट ही होनी चाहिए। हमारा आशय फूड प्रोसेसिंग से है। जैसे टमाटर उत्पादक क्षेत्रों के पास टमैटो केचप आदि के उद्योग, आलू उत्पादक क्षेत्रों के पास चिप्स आदि के उद्योग, सरसों उत्पादक क्षेत्रों के पास तेल उद्योग आदि को लगाना चाहिए।

फसलों के तैयार हो जाने के बाद सबसे जरुरी होता है, उनको बाजार में बेचना। एक साथ पूरी फसल बेच पाना किसान के लिए आसान नहीं होता है, इसलिए सरकार को हर प्रकार की फसलों को एकत्रित करने के लिए बड़े गोदामों का निर्माण करना चाहिए। फसलों को बेचने के लिए मण्डी भी निकट होनी चाहिए। जहां ऐसा नहीं है, वहां प्रशासन बिचैलिये का काम करे।

1. Ask Agr. Dept. to produce a report on nation wide demand & production. 2. Diversify production on basis of climate to reduce excess production against demand. 3. Issue bond like Kishan Bikash to make eco-friendly storage at each Gram Panchayat. People will definitely invest. 4. Producers of same region to be encouraged for separate crops rather same crops to reduce excess production of specific crops. 5. Preservation to be promoted. 6. Practice "No Deficit & Excess - Export"
