LARGE MULTIPURPOSE (MEAT, FISH, VEGETABLES AND FRUITS) COLD STORAGE PLANT OF A CAPACITY APPROX. 2000 MT
[EIRI/EDPR/1896] J.C. 771
INTRODUCTION
All fruits and vegetables require specialized post harvest treatment, appropriate temperature and relative humidity for their storage. Establishment of cold storage provides refrigerated storage and preservation facilities for several fruits, vegetables & flowers. Because of technology advancements and logistic strategies, the cold storage of perishable items has become an important stage in the distribution between manufacturers/processors and retail locations. The cold storage will ensure the increased availability and improved quality of high value perishable fruits and vegetables for both export and local sale, which would otherwise perish or deteriorate. This project is designed for storing of potatoes and apples/ kinnu etc. but it can be used to store multiple products, stored in different compartments of the unit, where relative temperatures for respective products can be maintained. The major clientele of this business will be the export houses and the local trading and marketing units of potato and apple/ kinnu. The project will further aim at storing fruits & vegetables even during off-seasons. The project will ultimately assist the clientele in maintaining market price equilibrium throughout the year for potatoes.
Trends in area and production of horticulture
The data of area and production for the last ten years it would be observed that there has been a continuous increase in trend both in production as well as in area. Table 1 shows that the area under fruits has increased by 5.23 percent in the 2011-12 where as the fruit production has increased by 26.5% in the same period A comparison of the area and production can be made with the help of following tables/figures: A perusal of table 1 and fig. 1 shows that both area and production of horticultural crops seem to be increasing simultaneously.
