This document provides an overview of a proposed cold storage service for fruits and vegetables in India. It notes that cold storage can prevent spoilage, making produce available off-season and in distant locations. It also states that post-harvest losses in India account for 25-30% of production. The proposed cold storage facility would offer refrigerated storage and preservation for fruits and vegetables to reduce losses and improve availability and quality. A SWOT analysis is presented, and the project details include a 5000 MT capacity, 4 crore initial investment, employment needs, legal requirements, production details, budgets, and available reports.

2. Executive Summary and Analysis
• Cold storage prevents spoilage of perishable
commodities like Potato, Apple, Oranges etc.,
making them available off-season and in places
where they are harvested.
• In spite of that per capita availability of fruits
and vegetables is quite low because of post
harvest losses which account for about 25% to
30% of production.
• Because of technology advancements and
logistic strategies, the cold storage of perishable
items has become an important stage in the
distribution between manufacturers / processors
and retail locations.

largest producer of vegetables in the world.
• All fruits and vegetables require specialized
post-harvest treatment, appropriate
temperature and relative humidity for their
storage.

availability and improved quality of high value
perishable fruits and vegetables for both
export and local sale, which would otherwise
