India is the World’s second largest producer of Fruits & Vegetables. However, the processing of perishable products in our country is very low, in comparison to the ...
cold storage facilities must be provided in every taluk. The farmers should get their price.middle men should be eliminated. Lot of food is being wasted in functions which can be given to roadside poor people . volunteers can come forward.
Procure vegetables directly from farmers.
1) reduce intermediaries in the supply chain. 2) Create infrastructure for direct selling from farmers/villages/districts to consumers. 3) Create co-operatives like Amul. 4) Create cold-storage facilities near production areas. 5) Use irradiation and other techniques to increase shelf life
Suggestion is to contact farmers in peak time when vegetables are entering to the market . So that krishi OR APMC Officials can contact byers accordingly .. MR MODI please keep an eye on this issue as serious amend . In Karnataka it happens very of-fan , no CM has concern on farmers what they grow and how to make profit to the each farmer accordingly . very sad to say. Million of rupees and crops where wasting in yoy
This has a few aspects -
Technology - have packing and freezing facilities located close to growers
Logistics - better roads, refrigerated warehouses,24 hr electricity
Training and education - for the farmers
Financial incentives - to install and use technology
Of the above better roads should be the first priority. Railways too can play a part. All others require massive technology investment
we can go for the cold storage of fruits and vegetables in the respective area. we can set up stalls for the selling of fruits and vegetables immediately after the harvest season . With respect to the season of fruits and vegetables.
Majority of our farmers go by traditional way of farming and processing.Proper training to them with illustrations on efficient post harvest processing (if required with newer technology based procedures) will definitely improve the situation
Our farmer make so much hard work on their products but lack of proper technology the can't save their products for long time. We have to give them some cooling facilities near to their field. Some companies should be ready to transport their products in aircondition vehicles
Big Corporates should be given the compulsory responsibility of developing of agriculture not only in the supply chain but the entire process of agriculture. Then the grievances of farmers can be addressed easily. Each corporate should adopt 1 or more villages . Farmers are the backbone of this country
By using new advanced case to transport fruits , vegetables etc. And also by giving impotence to teanporters
