Agriculture is the major industry of India and about 70% of Indian Population is engaged in activities connected to agriculture. The total agricultural output amounts to approx.40% of the
National Income. The country is producing in excess of 60 million tons of fruits and vegetables per annum. Most of the agricultural produce is perishable in nature and requires certain levels of temperature and humidity to hold the horticultural produce in good condition for longer periods.
It is estimated that due to lack of proper facilities of transportation and storage, about 33% of produce, especially fruits and vegetables are wasted i.e. about 20 million tons or 200 lakh tons are wasted. During the peak harvesting season, excess produce gets over flooded and
many -a-times, due to lack of storage facilities – let alone cold storage facilities- gets damaged and totally wasted, whereas an artificial scarcity gets developed during non-harvesting periods and prices soar and many times, we have to import these goods at exhorbitantly high prices which most of the people of India cannot afford and have to starve.
Considering the total cold storage capacity available and the increased production due to increase in productivity etc., there is still a wide gap between production and cold storage capacity. This results in severe losses to farmers due to inadequate storage capacity. Steps are being taken to improve the infrastructure as well as to build additional cold storage capacity by giving subsidies and tax concessions.
