India needs to double its food production by 2040 to meet demand. The country produces a variety of crops across different climates and seasons. Kharif crops like rice, maize and soybeans are grown during the monsoon season while Rabi crops like wheat and mustard are grown in winter. Proper food storage and distribution is important to preserve quality and safety. Food is transported through various supply chains and the public distribution system aims to provide subsidized staples to those in need, though it faces challenges like leakage and poor implementation.

vegetables; spices; meat and poultry;
milk and milk products, beverages,
fisheries, soya-based products, etc…..
The Indian food services industry is
estimated to be nearly worth Rs

4. Cropping Pattern
India is a vast country. The climatic
conditions like temperature, humidity
and rainfall vary from one region to
another. Accordingly, there is a rich
variety of crops grown in different
parts of the country. Despite this
diversity, two broad cropping
patterns can be identified.
1)Kharif Crops
2)Rabi Crops

5. Kharif Crops
The crops which are sown
in the rainy season are
called kharif crops. The
rainy season in India is
generally from June to
September. Paddy, maize,
soya bean, groundnut,
cotton, etc., are kharif
crops.

6. Rabi Crops
The crops grown in the winter
season are called rabi crops.
Their time period is generally from
October to March. Examples of
rabi crops are wheat, gram, pea,
mustard and linseed.

13. INTRODUCTION
• Proper food storage is important to help
you:
* Preserve food quality, including
nutrients, flavor and texture
* Make the most of the money you spend
on food by preventing spoilage
* Keep food safe by limiting the growth of
harmful bacteria and preventing
contamination of foods
13

14. High risk foods
• Dairy products, such as custard and
dairy based desserts
• Eggs and egg products
• Cooked rice and pasta
• Prepared fruit salads
• Food that comes in packages, cans
and jars can become high-risk foods
once opened, and should be handled
and stored correctly
14

15. Date markings
• Food packages have date markings to
let us know how long food can be kept
before it is unsafe to eat or before the
quality of the food begins to
deteriorate.
15

16. Storing leftovers
• Throw away any high risk food that
has been standing at room
temperature for more than two hours
• Divide food into smaller portions and
put it in a shallow dish
• Do not put food in the fridge when it is
still hot
• Leftovers stored in the fridge should
be eaten within three days
16

17. Freezing
• If food is properly frozen there are no
food safety concerns
• The freezer temperature should be
below -15 °C
• Frozen raw foods can be defrosted
once and stored in the fridge for up to
two days before they need to be
cooked or thrown away
17

18. Types of Food Storage Products
• Canned foods
• Dehydrated foods
• Retort foods
18

19. Canned foods
• Cheaper than other types of food
• Canned goods have a shelf life from two
to seven years
• Canned goods can be eaten right out of
the can, either cold or heated
• The canning process destroys many of
the micronutrients in the food
19

20. Dehydrated foods
• It involves reducing the moisture
content in foods to create an
unfavorable environment for spoilage
• Dehydrated foods can be either air-
dried or freeze-dried
• Both methods can reduce the weight
of fruits and vegetables by 80-90%,
and meats by 30%
20

21. Retort foods
• These foods are packaged in
multilayer laminate pouches that are
vacuum sealed and then heated to
240-250° to sterilize the contents
• Retort products have a shelf life equal
to that of canned goods
• They can be eaten straight out of their
packaging
21

22. 8 tips of food storage
• Follow the First In, First Out (FIFO) rule
• Place meat as low as possible
• Store food in air-tight containers
• Store all food off the floor
• Temperature control still applies
• Do not overload refrigeration units
• Keep shelves and floors clean and
organized
• When in doubt, throw it out

25. Retail concentration
Refers to the market-share generally
belonging to the top 4 or 5 mass
distribution firms
Reasons
The particular relevance retail is gaining on
a global scale
The particular shape of the food chain
Positive & negative impacts
25

26. Logistics
 Management of the flow of resources between the
point of origin and the point of destination in order to
meet some requirement
• Logistics fields
 Procurement logistics
 Production logistics
 Distribution logistics
 Disposal logistics
 Reverse logistics
 Green logistics
•

27. Agricultural marketing
Covers the services involved in moving
an agricultural product from the farm to the
consumer
Interconnected activities
Also includes acts of buying supplies,
renting equipment & paying labor
27

28. Introduction to PDS
Established by the Government of India
under Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food, and
Public Distribution
It distributes subsidized food and non-food
items to India's poor.
Major commodities distributed include staple
food grains, such as wheat, rice, sugar,
and kerosene
PDS or FPS 28

29. Fallouts of P.D.S System
1. Growing instances of the consumers receiving
inferior quality food grains.
2. Deceitful dealers replace good supplies
received from the F.C.I. with inferior stock
3. Illicit fair price shop owners have been found to
create large number of bogus cards
4. Many FPS dealers resort to malpractice, illegal
diversions of commodities, hoarding and black
marketing due to the minimal salary. 29

30. 5. Numerous malpractices make safe and
nutritious food inaccessible and unaffordable
6. Identification of households to be denoted BPL
status and distribution to granted PDS services
has been highly irregular
7. Regional allocation and coverage of FPS are
unsatisfactory.

31. •CONCLUSION
Indian food economy is one of the
strongest sector.
Eventhough food production is
increasing per year, due to factors
such as food inflation , inefficient
distribution systems and storage
systems ,India is facing downfall in
its food maintenance.
