What is Cold Chain ?

Temperature control in the supply chain of

production, storage and distribution of

perishable products

The Cold Chain logistics infrastructure

generally consists of:

Pre-cooling facilities

Refrigerated Carriers

Cold Storages /Warehousing

Packaging

Information Management systems

When is it Important?

Fruits & Vegetables (fresh and processed)

Chocolates

Ice Cream Dairy products

Meat, Poultry & Fish

Food Grains Vaccines and other Pharma Products

Low Flash Point Chemicals

Floriculture

Benefits of Cold Chain

Minimizes post- harvest spoilage

Extends shelf life e.g. fruits, vegetables and

flowers Safeguards potency e.g. vaccines

Retains quality e.g. ice creams

Prevents decay e.g. frozen food

Some Facts ..

India accounts for 10% and 13% of world fruits

and vegetable production

35 - 40% of all perishable food produce inIndia is spoilt before reaching the end

consumer

This wastage is more than the total production

of fresh fruits and vegetables in Great Britain.
