Post-harvest losses are a major challenge in India, particularly affecting perishable crops like fruits and vegetables. A significant portion of produce is lost between harvest and consumption due to inadequate storage facilities, poor handling, and inefficient transportation systems. Many farmers lack access to cold storage, refrigerated transport, and proper packaging, which leads to spoilage, reduced shelf life, and financial losses., These losses not only impact farmers’ incomes but also increase food prices and reduce availability for consumers. The problem is compounded by fragmented supply chains, insufficient logistics infrastructure, and limited adoption of modern technology in storage and transportation. Small and marginal farmers are especially vulnerable, as they often sell produce immediately after harvest at lower prices to avoid spoilage, missing opportunities to earn fair value., Addressing post-harvest losses through improved storage, cold chain facilities, and efficient logistics is critical for enhancing agricultural productivity, ensuring food security, and increasing farmers’ profitability. Better supply chain management can reduce waste, stabilize prices, and strengthen the overall agricultural economy.
