India is the World’s second largest producer of Fruits & Vegetables. However, the processing of perishable products in our country is very low, in comparison to the developed countries or developing countries like China, Brazil, Malaysia, Vietnam, etc. One of the main constraints in the growth of processing of fruits & vegetables in the country is non-availability of modern and suitable infrastructure with efficient supply Chain. Consequently, there is very high level of wastage of the fruits & vegetables in the country resulting in the farmer not getting adequate remuneration for his yield. A study conducted by Central Institute of Post Harvesting Engineering Technology (CIPHET), Ludhiana, an ICAR institute, reveals that wastage in various agricultural crops in the country range from 6-18% and the highest loss has been shown in fruits and vegetables.

Ministry of Food processing Industries invites views/ suggestions for reduction of these losses.

Last date for sending your suggestions is 1st February 2015.

Respected PM Sir, please arrange for doing land mapping of persons holding more than 2 acres of land.Delete all these persons from the list for giving subsidy.Identify which firms are operating in agricultural sector or in export import.How and why they are showing losses will give answer to many of our national problems.Real poor farmers are becoming landless labour and above people are becoming property dealers and typical businessman always crying showing losses and keeping money in black.

Government should involve private good companies to set up food processingccentres and godowns in the main production areas.Similarly godowns be set up in main consumption areas for distribution at the time of shortage.

gov must provide subsidy for proper packing this must be cheap compared to the cost of post harvest losses. to encourage farmers into this a brand or tag may be provided like "government verified or government branded" for those goods well packed so that they may get good price in market also This can be administered by the government market yards which prevail in most of the state like " ulavar sandhai in Tamil Nadu"

पूरे भारत में यह नियम लागू किया जाना चाहिए कि जो भी व्यक्ति सरकारी नौकरी में है। चाहे वो कलेक्टर हो या SP या कोई अन्य कर्मचारी। सभी के बच्चे सरकारी स्कूल में ही पढेंगे और जिनके बच्चे सरकारी स्कूल में न पढते हो उन्हें सरकारी नौकरियों से निकाल दिया जाए। सभी लोग समझ सकते है कि जब जिले के कलेक्टर और SP तथा अन्य अधिकारीयों के बच्चे सरकारी स्कूल में पढ़ना आरम्भ कर देंगे, तो उन स्कूल में शिक्षा का स्तर क्या होगा और शिक्षक किस तरह की पढाई वहाँ करवाएँगे। सभी शिक्षक स्कूल समय पर आएँगे और अपना कार्य पूरी ईमानदारी से करेंगे। जो शिक्षक किसी जुगाड़ के चलते शिक्षक बने है और पढाने में असमर्थ है वो स्वयं अपना इस्तीफा सरकार को सौंप देंगे। शिक्षा के स्तर में अचानक उछाल आ जाएगा और अपने देश के बच्चे भी मिसाल कायम करेंगे। और

Fruits and vegetables should be able to collect directly from the farmers and government need to start collection points every district/town and the amount of the items should be paid by government to farmers bank account after 2 days basis( almost 3 days we have a trillions of amount and it can help financial needs without interest or investment!) Also the vegetables and fruit quality and price all over Bharath we can control. And for the supply we can approach all government transports ..

Today, Gym is playing integral part in youth's life.They are mislead by instructors who sell protein powder and other medicines for quick results.That may harm in long run.So please look into this problem seriously before things go for worst.
