Profile A cold storage is a temperature-controlled supply chain network, with storage and distribution activities carried out in a manner such that the temperature of a product is maintained in a specified range, needed to keep it fresh and edible for a much longer period than in normal ambient conditions. This system facilitates long distance transport of various products as well as makes seasonal products available over the entire year. Fruits, vegetables and many other commodities can be preserved by storage at low temperature, which retards the activities of micro organisms. Micro organisms are the spoilage agents and consist of bacteria, yeasts and molds. Low temperature does not destroy those spoilage agents as does high temperature, but greatly reduces their activities, providing a practical way of preserving perishable foods in their natural state which otherwise is not possible through heating. Living foods such as fruits and vegetables have some natural protection against the activities of micro organism. The best method of preserving these items is to keep the product alive and at the same time retard the natural enzyme activity which will retard the rate of ripening or maturity. Application Cold storage is used to preserve fruits and vegetables. Once they are kept in the cold storage, they do not get spoiled even after many months. Sometimes, in production season of certain vegetable or fruit crops, the demand for those thing decreases, which in turn decreases the consumption in surplus amount of that particular item and it is kept in a cold storage. So this item, when needed, can be taken from the cold storage & can be made available to consumers very easily. Cold storages are essential for extending the shelf life of the products, reducing transport bottlenecks during the peak period of production and maintenance of the quality of produce. The development of cold storage industry has therefore an important role to play in reducing the wastages of the perishable commodities and thus providing remunerative prices to the farmers. Market Currently, India has an estimated share of around 80-85 per cent of the total cold storage capacity. There are over 5,300 cold storages in the country, the bulk of which are operated by small cold storage service providers having less than five cold storages. Potato storage constitutes the largest share of the cold storage capacity, accounting for about 75 percent in volume terms. The remaining capacity consists of multi purpose storage facilities which are used for storing fruits, vegetables, dairy products, meat products and other processed foods.
