Food Processing Industry, Cold Chain And Frozen Food Distribution Systems - A Brief
India has tremendous potential to become the primary source of agricultural products, more specifically food products in the world. It has about 53% of arable land - land available for cultivation of crops as compared to a measly average of about 11% for the rest of the world. It has some feathers in it’s cap as the second highest fruit and vegetable producer in the world, 6th largest producer of fish and such like but still doesn’t make up to the top 10 food exporting countries.If it weren’t for some severe infrastructure and technology issues, there is actually stopping for this gigantic food bowl. With large tracts of arable land, inexpensive labour and high-quality produce tumbling out of the barns, there is a potential so huge that sometimes, the scope and scale is almost unbelievable.
