Cold Chain may be defined as a series of facilities required for maintaining ideal
storage conditions for perishables products starting from the point of production to the
point of consumption. Some of these facilities are missing in India, but are critical
segments of the Cold Chain logistics Infrastructure.
In India large quantity of perishable products go waste due to lack of proper Cold Chain
Infrastructure. This wastage has been estimated at around 16% of the total produce
valuing approx. Rs.40,000/- Crs. Indian Agriculture sector accounts for nearly 26% of
country's GDP, 64% employment and account for 18% of country's export. India is the
second largest producer of Fruits and Vegetables, but our export is only 1% of world
trade hence there is tremendous scope for improvement in this sector. As per some
estimates, the post-harvest losses of Fruits and Vegetables in India is more than the
total production of fresh Fruits and Vegetables in Great Britain. The reason is lack of
proper Cold Chain Infrastructure in the country.
