Soultion: Enhance Shelf Life of Agri Produce to cater to long distant market using Technology & Supply Chain Infrastructure.

• By enhancing shelf life of agriculture produce, using Technology & Supply Chain Infrastructure, we cater to B2B clients both domestic & exports assuring consistent quality & quantity supply.
• We generate margins for each stakeholder in supply chain by reducing Agriculture Loses, we are involved in active trade, generally done in initial/ pilot stage when we are developing SOPs for each produce from post-harvest management to storage & distribution.
• During replication & scale stage we go for Co-operative model when we join forces with farmers/ FPCs/ Exporters with similar goals, values or market by offering below services such as Cooling, Irradiation, Warehousing and even exports to them.
• We believe that the tipping point can be achieved by the application of Technology & Supply Chain Infrastructure, very crucial in this global climate change era, where margins can be generated by reducing agriculture losses in turn generating employment for local people.
• Taking example Cold Storage (Inhouse capacity 4000 Mt) of Onion & Garlic with back up of Irradiation (Inhouse Capacity 3000 KCi) for suppression of sprouting can reduce agriculture losses from around 35% to less than 7 %, around 28% reduction in agriculture losses.
