KEy tAKE AwAyS Inaugural Session –

v Government has recently approved 138 integrated cold chain products including 30 new cold chain projects sanctioned for implementation attracting an investment of INR 470 crores and 108 projects under the aegis of the ministry.

v RBI has also recently classified loan to food and agro processing units and coal chain under priority sector lending under agriculture activities subject to aggregate sanctioned limit of INR 100 crore per borrower

v Organic food is the future of India and Sikkim is expected to turn fully organic by December, 2015.v Food processing industry in India is growing at a rate of 8.4% per annum.v The demand-supply gap in food processing industry is huge.v Government of India is devoted towards the development of cold chains in India.v Government of India has sanctioned installation of 70 food parks and 30 cold chains.v Cold chains can add to the growth of agricultural sector in India; however there should be proper awareness

among the users and owners alike.v Around Rs. 2000 crore worth of funds have been sanctioned towards the development of cold chains. 75% of

the cost of set up of cold chains would be given by the government as grants in hilly areas.v There is a limit of minimum 50 acres of land for Food Park but that might be relaxed for small states like

Sikkim. Union government is ready to hear any innovative suggestion or requirement that might be placed by the states.

v The present bottom-up approach to planning is the best for the development of states.v Food testing labs of international standard should be set up immediately.v There is utmost need of taking account of the postharvest loss.v Cold chain sector in India is riddling under huge pressure of high cost, high power tariffs, high interest rate.v Agricultural opportunity for Sikkim is increasing for Sikkim. The state’s fragile nature should be combated with

optimized use of it’s’ natural resources.v Resource mapping and organic farming is leading to Sikkim’s transformation as far as agriculture is concerned.v The concerned state badly needs more cold chains and have already placed two proposals to the central

government.v So far Sikkim has around 43000 acres of land under agricultural farming but the same needs proper marketing.v Cold chain is so far the largest bottleneck for the state and considering the condition of the state if union

government is generous to exempt the state from its commitment of 50% contribution to the set up cost of cold chains; it would be beneficial for the state.

v Investment in cold chains does offer several fiscal and monetary benefits. However, even after such incentives; investment is low in cold chains.

v MOFPI has many recent schemes related with cold chains but awareness regarding these schemes among mass has to be developed.

v Cold chains are important for carrying value to the customer.v However, single cold storage can only offer time based arbitrage to the farmer; hence focus should be on

integrated cold chain development that can offer time based and geographic arbitrage. v Post harvest management, including logistics, packaging, handling and storages can only lead to the

optimum result. v Cold chains also offer multimarket exposure to a local product.v Especially for perishable commodities cold chains are essential; proper handling and storage increases the

shelf life of a perishable commodity.

10

Plenary Session I

v The existing cold storage capacity gap in North-East India is 1238.6 MMT.v Investment in cold storages can avail 150% exemption from Income tax.v Also they are eligible for external commercial borrowing.v Customs duty is at 5% for cold chain sector.v Again certain cold chain related services are exempted from service taxes.v Lending towards cold chain sector has been brought under priority sector lending.v Instead of only storage; government schemes are now more holistic and providing start to end assistance

regarding post harvesting process. The schemes also cover all primary products.v A total of 138 integrated cold chain projects were approved by the Government, which includes 30 new cold

chain projects sanctioned recently for implementation and would attract an investment of Rs. 470 Crores and 108 projects are under the implementation by the Ministry. Of these, 52 projects have already achieved completion and commenced commercial operation. It is expected that operationalization of these 138 projects would create capacity of (a) 4.76 lakh MT of Cold Storage, Controlled Atmosphere (CA)/ Modified Atmosphere (MA) Storage, Deep Freezer (b) 118.5 MT per hour of individual Quick Freezing (IQF) (c) 118.05 lakh litres per day (LLPD) of milk processing and storage and (d) 810 number of reefer carriers. Soon there would be around 350 FPCs all over India and 65 of them would be in West Bengal.

v However, North East India has only 5 projects.v The sector is expecting more technological advancement and investment in recent future.v Unless and until; cold chain sector is considered along with other post harvest management activities and

developed together; the outcome would be incomplete.v Firm level intervention for value creation in agricultural produce is needed.v Often fruits are grown for short term transfer of ownership and unless this attitude is changed optimum result

in storage of the same can never be achieved.v There is significant gap between modern and traditional practices of harvesting and that in turn leads to

longer storage.v Less handling of the produce from source to final consumer is needed to maintain qualitative appeal.v Proper handling can lead to better reputation and augment the brand value.v Grading, packing and branding are most important for profitability.v This is the high time for golden revolution; and agriculture can be turned into a sustainable profit earning

activity.v Madhya Pradesh government has a target to turn 1 lakh hector of agricultural land into horticultural land each year.v Horticultural products need to be marketed properly.v Lack of investment in North East State along with lack of awareness is the main problem in North east states

for the development of the profitable agricultural and horticultural activities.v Lack of modern technology, transport, supply chain management, refrigerated vehicles and absent of post

harvest management are the main cause of the lagged state of the agricultural sector in India.v Sikkim’s drive towards the organic state can only be successful with adequate number of cold chains.v Uninterrupted supply chain management can help Sikkim to emerge from its dire state.v Sikkim is all set to go entirely organic and the government is all set to embrace private investment to this end.v Cold chain management and harmonization of the same with logistic management can eventually help the

state to reach its desired goal.v Sustainable return from cold chain should be there for the existence of the same.v Presence of intermediaries would raise the cost.v Investment in cold chains, reefer trucks, would also increase the cost and to make it economically viable;

entrepreneurs should put a logistic framework in place; especially considering power tariffs that will eventually bring the cost down.

v Installation of mobile van in higher numbers is needed to attain efficient marketing in organic produce.v In Sikkim logistics problem and infrastructure problem is major threat to further progress of modern agricultural

marketing. Cost of transportation is also very high in Sikkim.

11

v Development of backward and forward linkages should be developed for the optimum use of cold chain sectors and successful agricultural marketing.

v Optimized development of the cold storages is the need of the time.v Energy use in cold chain units should be optimized.v There is immediate need for the development of green cold chain facilities all over India to tame the onrush

of the global warming.v Eco-friendly plant layout, location wise optimization, proper building plan and use of renewable energy in cold

chains can help to meet the above goal.

Plenary Session II

v Agricultural produce needs control throughout the harvesting process; not only when it is under temperature.v Development of Food Parks would eventually help the development of cold chains. A mega Food Park of

around 75 acres in size is going to be developed in Palakkad, Kerala. v Investment in cold chain should be sustainable and economically viable. This is required for the continuous

flow of funds in the sector.v Cold chain development should be product based to optimize results. Different products have different

requirements and clubbing them all together might jeopardize results.v A sustainable cold chain format is required for milk. Milk is highly perishable and immediate attention after

extraction is required.v Chilling facilities should be adjacent to villages. Most of the hilly villages are far from the urban settlements

and in case the transportation of the milk to the cooling units takes time; there is high possibility that it might perish on its way to the cold units.

v Processing and marketing is also necessary for the holistic development of the milk processing sector.v Small quantities of milk can be collected together to attain economies of scale. This will make the cold chain

projects economically viable.v Cold chain would be beneficial for all. Cold chain offers benefits to the farmer, the owner of the cold chain

units and consumers alike.v Indian cold chain industry is expected to grow by 12% per annum till 2020.v 25%-30% of fruits and vegetables get wasted owing to the lack of cold chain.v If this scenario can be improved then India might export significant volume of fruits and vegetables and earn

significant volume of foreign exchange.v Sikkim has very less volume of agricultural land and hence optimum use of the same is necessary to attain

anything meaningful.v Agriculture in Sikkim should go for high value cash crops like ginger, medicinal plants etc that will eventually

offer higher revenue with lower volume of land.v Creation of Farmer’s club and similar associations as a common platform can be an innovative idea.v Lack of integration is another problem for the concerned state. Sikkim also houses sparse population with

fragmented settlements and that is another problem for the concerned state. v Cold storage in adequate numbers cannot offer optimum results; unless backed by Proper packaging, which is

extremely important for longer storage.v Choosing proper primary and secondary material for packaging deserves special attention.v Proper container is also necessary for longer storages.v Cold chain industry is 88% transport and 12% storage in terms of importance.v Common moisture problem is an important problem for the cold chains.v Proper humidity control can get rid of this problem with ease.v Proper humidity control in cold chains is also necessary for the proper long-term storages of the commodities.v Integrated, environment friendly, energy efficient modern cold chain development in India is the need of

the time.

tRAINING & FIElD vISIt ON 26Th MAy 2015

13

training Session on 26th May 2015 - Training Session on Efficient & Safe Industrial Refrigeration Systems for Cold Storages and Food Processing Plants was conducted by experts from the sector Mr. Haresh Rupchandani, President Association of Ammonia Refrigeration and Mr. Ravindra Kulkarni Association of Ammonia Refrigeration. Mr. D Ram Centre in Charge National Horticulture Board (NHB), Mr. HimanshuSheth Sr. Manager ALFALAVAL & Mr. Arijit Mukherjee Sr. Manager Bry Air spoke about the Shemes and Technical aspectes of maintaining cold storages.

There were around 50 participants attending the training session and the field visit following the same. Moderninsing the existing cold chain units, shifting from traditional to green cold chains, importance of cold chain maintainence and significance of paying attention to optimal humidity maintainance in cold chains were the main emphasis of the concerned session. The delegates

were not only informed regarding the mentioned aspects; rather they were advised on how to attain these objectives with ease. All the participants were enlighted by the practical experience of the session conductors and later given hands on experience through the field visit to a Cymbidium Development Centre in Rumtek.

v National Horticulture Board (NHB) is devoted to the cause of cold chain development. There are series of recent schemes related with cold chains as developed by NHB. Such as Credit linked projects relating to Cold Storages including Controlled Atmosphere (CA) and Modified Atmosphere (MA) Stores, pre-cooling units, other Storages, etc.

v Under scheme 2 namely “Capital Investment subsidy scheme for construction/expansion/ modernization of cold storage and storages for Horticulture Products” The assistance will be given as 35% subsidy of the capital cost of project in general areas and 50% in case of NE, Hilly & Scheduled Areas (5000-10000 MT).

v Under scheme 3 namely “Technology Development and Transfer for Promotion of Horticulture” project based Rs. 2o crore is given towards Development and introduction of new protocol relating to Cold Chain and storage including cold chain.

v Under Scheme 5 namely “Horticulture Promotion Services/expert services and strengthening capability of NHB” 100% cost of the study shall be borne by the Board to Conduct technical scrutiny and certification of cold chain infrastructure as per implementation protocol for Technical Standards for cold storages etc.

v North-East India is lagging behind in terms of cold chain development and the situation requires immediate attention. The benefits associated with cold chain development in the region are unprecedented.

v Efficient and safe running of industrial refrigeration units are extremely important.v Heat-load calculation is extremely important for the optimum use of cold chains.v Regular but cautious maintenance of cold chains can avoid break down of unit and can also minimize the

capital intensive maintenance expenditure.v Such maintenance can be done with ordinary households and industrial products.v Increased number of cold storage units and augmented capacity of the same would fail to reach the desired

goal unless maintained properly.v Cold chain is an energy intensive sector and energy cost occupies significant share of the operating cost of cold

chains. Energy optimized use of cold chains will make them more economically viable and leave lesser volume of carbon foot print.

v Energy efficient heat exchanger will help to attain the aforementioned objective. v The temperature and humidity combo in cold chains should be maintained according to the products for

optimum results.v Use of dehumidifiers in cold chains can help to avoid frosting without defrosting and thereby can help in

uninterrupted functioning of cold chains.v Use of CFC as the cooling agent contributes to global warming and India has a strict deadline (2020) to replace

the same with Ammonia and water. Significant progress has been made towards that end.v Sikkim is blessed with a unique orchid Cymbidium; storing the concerned cut orchid in cold chain without

hurting its qualitative appeal is an arduous job and usually done in stages. Modern cold chain is required to accomplish the effective post-harvest management of cut Cymbidium orchid.

v The concerned orchid is one of the longest lasting commercial orchid variety, they are best stored at 8-10 degree Celsius. Either they should be stored in exotic boxes at 12-16 degree Celsius or should be kept in cold storages at 3-5 degree Celsius.

v If properly handled and stored they can often last for 15 to 20 days at internationally acceptable quality level.
