POST HARVEST ACTIVITIES- STORAGE
After agricultural produce is harvested, it requires a robust storage
infrastructure in order to minimise any losses due to adverse weather
conditions or in the process of transportation. The quantity of food which is
wasted during the harvest and post-harvest processes in the country has
increased over the past five years. The highest losses are observed in the
case of fruits and vegetables (4.6%-15.9% of production in 2015), pulses
(6.4%-8.4%) and oilseeds (5.3%-9.9%).
Food grains from the central pool are stored in warehouses managed by the
Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC), under the Department of Food
and Public Distribution. As of December 2016, the CWC was operating 438
warehouses with a total capacity of 9.7 million tonnes. State Warehousing
Corporations manage storage facilities at the state level. As of December
2016, 19 such SWCs were operating 1,757 warehouses with a total capacity
of 26 million tonnes.

Mega Food Park Scheme
The Scheme of Mega Food Park aims at providing a mechanism to
link agricultural production to the market by bringing together
farmers, processors and retailers so as to ensure maximizing value
addition, minimizing wastage, increasing farmers income and
creating employment opportunities particularly in rural sector. The
Mega Food Park Scheme is based on “Cluster” approach and
envisages creation of state of art support infrastructure in a well-
defined agri / horticultural zone for setting up of modern food
processing units in the industrial plots provided in the park with
well-established supply chain. Mega food park typically consist of
supply chain infrastructure including collection centers, primary
processing centers, central processing centers, cold chain and around
25-30 fully developed plots for entrepreneurs to set up food processing
units.
The Mega Food Park project is implemented by a Special Purpose
Vehicle (SPV) which is a Body Corporate registered under the
Companies Act. State Government, State Government entities and
Cooperatives are not required to form a separate SPV for
implementation of Mega Food Park project.
