Cold Chain : What is it?

• A cold chain is basically a logistics system, which helps in

maintaining and providing a series of facilities for ensuring

ideal storage conditions for the perishables from the point of

origin to the point of sale.

• A well developed and efficiently organized cold chain

reduces wastage, spoilage and helps keeps the perishables

intact thereby helping to maintain the quality of the harvested

food products.

Current scenario of cold supply chain Currently, the Indian cold chain market is worth $3 billion. The market is expected to grow to $12.4 billion by the

end of 2015. Cumulative capacity of India is nearly 25 million tonnes,

resulting in loss of about 40% of the agri-produce post-harvest.

Uttar Pradesh has the maximum 1,579 numbers of cold chains followed by West Bengal at the second place with 531 cold storages, Maharashtra 460 and Punjab 420.

The current market demand is 10 times more than what we have today.
