Cold Chains

Cold chains offer significant advantages in enhancing the shelf life, quality, and market reach of perishable products. Leveraging datasets from the NHB, like "Integrated Cold Chain Availability" and "Approved Cold Chain Projects District Level Aggregates," stakeholders can identify existing cold chain infrastructure and future projects, optimizing the supply chain. A robust cold chain network reduces post-harvest losses, ensuring that farmers receive better returns for their produce. Moreover, it ensures consumers have access to fresh and quality products throughout the year. By analyzing these datasets, policymakers and businesses can make informed decisions, fostering the growth of the agri-business sector in India.
