Cold Chains

Cold chains offer significant advantages in enhancing perishable products' shelf life, quality, and market reach. Leveraging datasets from the NHB, "Integrated Cold Chain Availability," and from the Ministry of Food Processing Industries, "Approved Cold Chain Projects District Level Aggregates," stakeholders can identify existing cold chain infrastructure and future projects, optimizing the supply chain. A robust cold chain network reduces post-harvest losses, ensuring farmers receive better produce returns. Moreover, it gives consumers access to fresh and quality products throughout the year. By analyzing these datasets, policymakers and businesses can make informed decisions, fostering the growth of the agri-business sector in India.
