farmers and in case, if one farmer is not able to supply the desired quantity
with desired quality, then from farmers’ Associations.
II. The second preferred option is to employ a middleman between farmer and
company, called as a vendor.

III. The last preferred option is to procure from the Mandi, through a vendor;
which is explained in the following diagram:

CHAPTER-2
Mother Dairy Fruit &Vegetable Pvt. Ltd

Introduction:
In today’s highly competitive global market place, the pressure on organizations tofind new
ways to create and deliver value grows even stronger. Gradually, in emerging economies as
well as mature markets, the power of the buyer has overtaken that of the customer. Prices
have always been a critical competitive variable in many markets and the signs are that, it
becomes an issue to think upon as commoditization of markets continues.
In this context, logistics and supply chain management have become the crucial areas of
management. Though India spends over 12 per cent of its GDP on logistic and supply chain
management, customer value provided is unsatisfactory. This area becomes even more
important in the sector of agribusiness, because most of the agricultural products are
perishable and have a very short shelf life.
Supply Chain Management (SCM) is the oversight of materials, information, and finances as
they move in a process from supplier to manufacturer to wholesaler to retailer to consumer.
Supply chain management involves coordinating and integrating these three flows both
Mother Dairy Fruit &Vegetable Pvt. Ltd
within and among companies.
The concept of Agriculture supply chain refers to the activities of procurement, order
fulfilment, product design and development, distribution, delivery and customer service
executed by two or more separate organizations in the agribusiness industry, to fulfil
customer orders.
An efficient supply chain can contribute to an increase in the marketable surplus by lowering
down the inefficiencies in production, processing, storage and transportation. It ensures better
prices to the farmers inducing them to invest more in the vital inputs so that productivity
leaps frog. It widens market opportunities for products and thus helps in maintaining an ever
increasing demand for the same. An organized retailing acts as a stimulator to promote
16. 16
growth of agro based industries, helping the farmers in
production planning in advance, based on demand
forecast.
Economic efficiency in a system can be examined as:
1. Technical efficiency: In marketing the produce, the technical efficiency is said to have
increased when operational cost is reduced for performing a function for each unit of output.
This can be achieved by reducing physical losses and improvement in the technology to carry
out particular function viz. storage, transportation, handling and processing. A change in the
technique can result in the reduction of per unit cost.
2. Allocative efficiency:Allocative efficiency of farm products either over time or across the
space among the traders, processors and consumers protects the economic interests of the
producers and consumer.
Mother Dairy Fruit & Vegetable Pvt Ltd is the market leader of organised F&V Retail
Business in Delhi NCR and has also a prominent presence in Export market spread across 40
countries.
And as doing my project in MDF&VPL (Safal), I have found out that Mother Dairy has
Mother Dairy Fruit &Vegetable Pvt. Ltd
excelled in Allocative efficiency, because the mantra of Allocative efficiency lies in the
vision and mission of the company, which aims to provide remunerative prices to the farmers
across the country for their produce, by eliminating the Intermediaries involved.
But, Safal has to improve its technical efficiency. The main business of MDF&V unit is Agri-
Business and considering the perishability and low shelf life of Agri-Products (i.e. F&V),
there is a lot opportunity to enhance its Technical efficiency; which, in turn, also help in
strengthening its Allocative efficiency.
*PROJECT – TITLE:
Cauliflower supply chain management For Cauliflower during Monsoon season (July-
September).
17. 17
OBJECTIVES:
To do the supply chain mapping for cauliflower for the two areas “Jaipur and Indore”
from where the Cauliflower is procured mainly during Monsoon season.
To study the cauliflower supply chain and to find possibilities to reduce the post-
harvest losses at each stage of supply chain.
To find out the possible alternatives for transportation to minimise the Transit losses.
To find out the possible alternatives for Packaging to maximize the shelf Life and to
minimise the losses during storage.
CAULIFLOWER:
Cauliflower is one of the most important winter vegetables of India. India produces 4.694 M
mt of Cauliflower per year from 0.256 M ha area with an average productivity of about 18.3
mt/ha. In West Bengal, the area under cauliflower is 57,000 ha with total production of 1.670
M mt and average productivity of 29.3 mt/ha.
Mother Dairy Fruit &Vegetable Pvt. Ltd
The major cauliflower producing states are Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Orissa, West Bengal, Assam,
Haryana, MP and Maharashtra. It is consumed as a vegetable in curries, soups and pickles.
QUALITYOF CAULIFLOWER PROCURED BY SAFAL:
The Quality standard fixed by MDF&V Unit for the procurement of cauliflower curds is very
Strict.Curds should be:
White in colour.
Fully Compact.
Not pungent.
With no or very less sulphur content.
Sweet in taste.
Weight of a Curd should not exceed by 700 gms.
18. 18
PRODUCTION ZONES OF CAULIFLOWER:
The demand for cauliflower in Delhi is almost same all-round the year,But the procurement
cannot be done from any one place, so Safal procures the Cauliflower from 12 production
zones for a specific time interval.
The forecasted demand for cauliflower in accordance with main production zones from where
the cauliflower is procured; are as follows:
Area State Target Qty. for 2012. Procurement Duration
(mt. tonnes)
Panipat Haryana 1057 October - February
Bahadur Garh Haryana 1085 October - February
Sonepat Haryana 903 October - February
GBelt 245
Alwar Rajasthan 85 October - February
Jaipur Rajasthan 376 August - October
Solan Himachal Pradesh 614 April - August
Hapur Uttar Pradesh 239 August - October
Mother Dairy Fruit &Vegetable Pvt. Ltd
Gajraula Uttar Pradesh 205 December - April
Muzaffarnagar Uttar Pradesh 0 October - February
Indore Madhya Pradesh 0 August - September
Mandi Delhi 459 Round the year
PROCUREMENT MODEL:
Cauliflower comes under Regional items and hence are procured from areas in and
around 150-200 km range of the Delhi-NCR region, with few exceptions when
demand is not satisfied in and around, especially in monsoon season.
For Cauliflower, Safal presently has Multi-Vendor Model. It can procure directly
from the Farmers, from the farmer’s associations, Vendors or From Azadpur mandi.
Safal, primarily buys only A-grade Cauliflower from the Farmers/ Vendors and thus,
minimizes the Risk Factor at its side.
19. 19
However, during the period between the dispatch of Cauliflower to the booths and
their sale there are considerable losses due to low shelf-
life and logistic problem.
STUDY AREA:
Out of the above 12 production zones, I have to focus mainly on areas from where the supply
comes in monsoon season, i.e. Jaipur (Pushkar) and Indore Areas.
Jaipur Area:
It is located in Rajasthan and provides the supply mainly during Monsoon season from
August to October.

DESCRIPTION OF STUDY AREA:
Indore Region was assigned to me as my study Area, but the office is at Ujjain because of the
proximity to the villages from where the produce is procured.
Ujjain District:
Ujjain District is a district of Madhya Pradesh state in central India. The historic city of
Ujjain is the district headquarters. Ujjain is situated on the Malwa Plateau in Central India.
The soil is black and stony. Soybean, wheat, jowar and bajraalong with Onion, potato and
green vegetables (e.g. Cauliflower) are the main crops grown.
Mother Dairy Fruit &Vegetable Pvt. Ltd
The district has an area of 6,091 km², and a population of 1,986,597 (2011 Census). Ujjain
has a sex ratioof 954 females for every 1000 males,[1] and a literacy rate of 73.55 %.The
district is bounded by the districts of Shajapur on the northeast and east, Dewas to the
southeast, Indore to the south, Dhar to the southwest, and Ratlam to the west and northwest.
The district is part of Ujjain Division.
23. 23
The economy of Ujjain is mainly dependent on the agricultural activities of the nearby
villages. Two main crops are grown each year: wheat as the major Rabi crop, soybean as the
major Kharif crop. Ujjain agriculture is sensitive to changes in rainfall and failure of

Advantages of Procurement from Indore (Ujjain) region:
The only advantage of procurement from this region is that there is no other production zone
from where cauliflower of A-Grade Quality can be procured during Monsoon season in the
month of August and till 15th September, So, it is the only source and the firm is compelled to
procure cauliflower from here; as the Firm has to fulfil the demand of the market.

Distance, which leads to transit challenges. The distance between Delhi and Ujjain is
810 kilometres, which leads to high transit time.
Cauliflower has low shelf life and the transit time is high, which leads to Packaging
Challenges.
Monsoon Season enhances the perishability rate and lowers the Shelf life, as it
increases the atmospheric humidity level, which is a common reason for the rotting of
Cauliflower.

CHAPTER-4
Possible Alternative Interventions
Mother Dairy Fruit &Vegetable Pvt. Ltd
28. 28
As mentioned in chapter-3, there are possible interventions to address these challenges. Firstly, we
will discuss interventions to handle transit challenges and then to handle Packaging Challenges.
Interventions To Handle Transit Challenges:
1. PRE-COOLING TECHNOLOGY:
Pre-cooling is the rapid removal of heat from freshly harvested produce. This process
is typically done before the produce is shipped to market or put into cold storage.
Why Precooling?
Metabolic activity in fresh fruits and vegetables continues for a short period after
harvest. The energy required to sustain this activity comes from respiration, which
involves oxidation of sugars to produce carbon dioxide, water and heat. A
commodity's storage life is influenced by its respiratory activity. By storing it at low
tempr, respiration is reduced and senescence is delayed, thus extending storage life.
Examples of products that are highly perishable and must begin cooling as soon as
possible after harvest are: cauliflower, broccoli, tomatoes, leafy vegetables, cabbage,
carrots and radishes.
The normal shelf life of Cauliflower is 1 or 2days, but when precooled, the shelf life
for cauliflower increases at least 5 times to 10 Days for best flavour and nutrition.
Mother Dairy Fruit &Vegetable Pvt. Ltd
Methods?
Pre-cooling rapidly lowers the temperature of freshly harvested produce and is done
immediately following harvest to minimize spoilage. There are five principal methods
of pre-cooling fresh produce:
• Room cooling
• Forced-air cooling
• Hydro-cooling
• Ice cooling &
• Vacuum cooling
29. 29
Which method is best fit for Cauliflower?
Forced Air- Cooling method is best fit for Cauliflower. In forced air cooling, chilled air is
forced to flow around each piece of produce. This close contact of chilled air with the
produce results in rapid, even cooling throughout the mass of produce. For piled bulk
produce, air ducts are used to distribute the chilled air through the produce. For palletized
produce, pallets loaded with bulk or containerized produce are aligned with air ducts that
direct chilled air through them. The air can be channelled to flow either horizontally or
vertically.
In a horizontal flow system, the air is forced to flow horizontally from one side of the pallet
load to the other through holes in the sides of the pallet bin or containers (see Figure B). In
stacking containers, the side holes must line up for the air to pass from one side of the stack
to the other. In this system, the top and bottom of the pallet or containers must be sealed to
prevent air from bypassing the produce.
In a vertical flow system, the air is forced to flow vertically from the bottom to the top of the
pallet through holes in the bottom of the pallet, and containers if used, then out the top (see
Figure C). In this system, the sides must be sealed to prevent the air from bypassing the
produce. Also, if containers are used, the holes in the tops and bottoms of the containers must
line up, so the air can travel vertically from one container to the next. This method is faster
than room cooling because a flow of chilled air is in direct contact with the produce.
Mother Dairy Fruit &Vegetable Pvt. Ltd
30. 30
If implementation of Forced Air Cooling Method is not possible, then Room cooling can also
be used.
2. REFRIGERATED TRANSPORTATION/ COMPROMISED REFER.
TRANSPORTATION:
Mother Dairy Fruit &Vegetable Pvt. Ltd
Refrigerated transportation refers to the mode of transportation in which Temperature
and Humidity level, both can be controlled; while compromised refer. Transportation
refers to the mode of transportation in which Temperature level can be controlled but
Humidity level cannot be controlled , and as discussed above, if cauliflower is stored
at 40C, it’s shelf life at least increases by five times.
So, the use of these modes of transportation can be advised, if found Economical.
31. 31
Interventions To Handle Packaging Challenges:
1. STANDARD PACKAGING:
It refers to normal packaging materials used for packing the produce. It includes paper
wrap (e.g. Normal newspaper, Butter-Paper etc.) and farm wrap (Tart, Leaves etc.).
2. MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE PACKAGING (MAP):
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is a technique used for prolonging the shelf-
life period of fresh or minimally processed foods. The modification process often tries
to lower the amount of oxygen (O2), moving it from 20.9% to 0%, In order to slow
down the growth of aerobic organisms and the speed of oxidation reactions. The
removed oxygen can be replaced with nitrogen (N2), commonly acknowledged as an
inert gas, or carbon dioxide (CO2), which can lower the pH or inhibit the growth of
bacteria.
Re-balancing of gases inside the packaging can be achieved using active techniques
such as gas flushing and compensated vacuum or passively by designing “breathable”
films known as Equilibrium modified atmosphere packaging (EMAP).
In gas-flushing, the package is flushed with a desired gas mixture, as in compensated
Mother Dairy Fruit &Vegetable Pvt. Ltd
vacuum, the air is removed totally and the desired gas mixture then inserted
EMAP films developed to control the humidity level as well as the gas composition in
the sealed package are beneficial for the prolonged storage of fresh fruits, vegetables
and herbs that are sensitive to moisture. These films are commonly referred to as
modified atmosphere/modified humidity packaging (MA/MH)films.
3. MODIFIED INTERACTIVE PACKAGING (MIP):
The basic concept of MIP is the ability of fresh produce to adjust its respiration rate
via its Biofeedback mechanism. The produce does the work, so as to ramp its
metabolism down from high rate of packing to much lower, steady rate in storage and
distribution.
When the product is placed in MIP, the fractures allow the product to create an
32. 32
atmosphere, it’s most happy with. The product’s biofeedback mechanism allows the
product to “go to sleep”.
COMPARISON BETWEEN STANDARD PACKAGING, MAP AND MIP:
MIP VS MAP & Std. Packaging
MIP has reduced rate of Shelf Life
deterioration compared to MAP and Std.
Packaging. This is due to the Biofeedback
Mechanism allowing the produce to create
its desired atmosphere placing it into a
relaxed state of Dormancy.
Protocols are easily broken with MAP and
Std. Packaging methods, resulting in rapid
deterioration of product shelf life.
Mother Dairy Fruit &Vegetable Pvt. Ltd
When protocols are broken and put back
in place with MIP technology, the product
wakes up , Resets its own atmosphere and
goes back to sleep. Each time a protocol is
broken, The MIP resetting cycle repeats
ensuring maximum shelf life Performance.
Eg. Oxy Fresh Films- Extended freshness packaging uses the MIP technology and is best
suited for packaging of Cauliflower for maximum shelf life performance.
33. 33
4. ETHYLENE ABSORBANT SACHET (EAS):
Ethylene is a natural ripening agent found in several fruits and vegetables. It is often
used by produce growers to artificially expedite the ripening process of particularly
susceptible commodities such as bananas and tomatoes. While some produce thrives
in ethylene gas, others deteriorate quickly in high-ethylene environments. It’s
important to store sensitive commodities away from heavy ethylene emitters.
Cauliflower is an Ethylene emitter as well very sensitive to ethylene gas, which
results in fast deterioration and lowering shelf life. Hence, Removal of ethylene is
very essential.
Ethylene Absorbers extend the shelf life of fruits, vegetables and flowers in a
packaged or bulk environment! Made with natural occurring Zeolites, Ethylene
Absorbing Sachets remove unwanted Ethylene gas through the oxidation process,
thereby ensuring the quality of freshness of the produce while In Transit or In
Storage.Ethylene Absorbing Sachets can be used with a wide variety of Agricultural
products, including Cauliflower.
Ethylene Absorbing Sachet Advantages:
Mother Dairy Fruit &Vegetable Pvt. Ltd
Eliminates decay, mold, discoloration, wilting, softening, scald, loss of crunch and
many other negative effects caused by ethylene gas.
Use during domestic and international shipments traveling via ocean, truck, rail and
air.
Non-toxic, chemically inert, can be disposed of as normal waste.
By removing ethylene gas, the shelf life of the produce is increased substantially.

CHAPTER-5
Standard Operating Practices (SOP)
Mother Dairy Fruit &Vegetable Pvt. Ltd
35. 35
STANDARD OPERATING PRACTICES(SOP):
1) The first thing which should be taken into account is regarding rains. There should be no
rain on the previous day of harvesting.
2) Harvesting should be done only in the sunny day.
3) Cauliflower should be harvested in between 8:00 am to 11:00 am.
4) The produce should arrive and unloaded at shed/ Pre-cooling Area/ Washing place at least
at 12:00 pm
5) Basic sorting and Minimal processing should be carried out just after the arrival. Minimal
processing consists of steps:
a) Selection of curd size up to 700 grams.
b) Stalk length = 3-4”
c) Cutting of excess cauliflower leaves leaving Behind 2 soft small leaves.
d) Wrapping the curds into white paper, if necessary.
6) Crate lining with white paper.
7) Crate can be filled with standard weight e.g. 12- 14 Kg/Crate or with normal approximate
weights.
8) Next, the cauliflower is precooled/ dried to reduce humidity for at least 2-4 hours,
depending upon the weather conditions.
9) Finally, these crates are loaded into trucks and despatched for CDF at different time
Mother Dairy Fruit &Vegetable Pvt. Ltd
intervals, based on transit timing needed by the driver and No-entry timings at New-
Delhi.

Cost of Cauliflower (Rs/ Kg) as on 28th July 2012 40.00
Mother Dairy Fruit &Vegetable Pvt. Ltd
INAAM SYSTEM OF TRUCK DRIVERS IN UJJAIN:
This Inaam system of Truck Drivers simply mean that if you pay higher reward to the truck
drivers, they’ll make your produce reach the destination in less time then normal.
Reward -Amount
Rs. 5,100 Rs. 3,100 Rs. 2,100 Rs. 1,100
Time -Taken 16-20 hrs 20-22 hrs 22-25 hrs 25-28 hrs
37. 37
TRADE DEFICIT:
Taking so much precaution and safety issues into consideration, let us assume that the
Spoilage for cauliflower for that truck on 29th July 2012 is 20%.
Therefore, Trade Deficit = 20 % of Cost of cauliflower procured
= (20 /100) * Rs. 40.00
= Rs. 8.00
Hence; Cost of procurement of A-Grade Cauliflower at CDF = Rs. 48.00/Kg.
But, The model price of A-Grade Cauliflower at CDF on 29th July 2012 was Rs. 45.00/Kg,
which would have resulted in a loss.
Loss/ Kg = Rs. 3.00

Conclusion and Recommendations:
1. Harvesting should be done only if the previous day, it hadn’t rained.
2. Cauliflower should be harvested only in a sunny day.
3. Ethylene generation, coupled with high temperature and humidity is considered to
be responsible for Post-harvest losses. So, proper steps should be taken to ensure its
absence.
4. Ethylene generation, high temperature, humidity can be taken care of by EAS,
Precooling and drying up by pedestal fans.
5. To maintain the low temperature, Cauliflower should be transported either by a
Refrigerated trucks or Comprised refer. Trucks or thermocol padded trucks.
6. Proper Temperature of the produce should be recorded at different Time intervals.
7. The use of white paper (Patangi paper) reduces the chances of black and brown
spots.
8. Upon observation, a trend is found between the price fluctuation in Azadpur Mandi
and the rainfall in this procurement area. When it rains in this area, prices go high in
Mother Dairy Fruit &Vegetable Pvt. Ltd
Azadpur Mandi and while Prices falls in Local Mandis and Vice-versa. This may
Demand-Supply Gap.
