What a waste! Fruits, veggies worth crores rot in India









India wastes about Rs 13,300 crore worth fruits and vegetables per year due to lack of adequate cold storage facilities, according to a report by US-based technology firm Emerson."India, the world's second largest producer of fruits and vegetables, is throwing away fresh produce worth Rs 133 billion every year because of the country’s lack of adequate cold storage facilities and refrigerated transport," Emerson Climate Technologies India said in a statement.

Its true...
Lot of fresh produce is wasted in india...
Creating storage facilities is very difficult in india...
The population density is succh that we may need a storage facility in every village which costs lot of money and not feasible...
I cannot read the entire article(its asking for login)...
Are they suugesting any solutions?
Or are they simply asking for retail FDI?

nearly impossible for govt to invest in this. We need private players.
Foodgrains on other hand can definitely be stored better and govt agencies can do.
