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.

When price of pertol/diesel went up in past, in the name of transportation cost, price of essential commodities like milk, vegetables, glossaries and every thing were hiked by all sectors including cooperative companies like AMUL. Now when fuel prices have come down by more than Rs 10 per litre, why govt is not taking steps and pressure the sector leaders to reduce the price? Why price of milk, vegetables, street side tea, restaurants do not come down? what Modi Govt is doing for poor and middl

Pvt hospitals like sterling group exploit patients. They charge exprbitantly, do not provide services and in the name of medico legal matter, they do not share patients' documents for which patient has paid through their nose. Recently when I wanted my own documents for mediclaim, with great reluctance they provided the documents after long arguments and height is they charged Rs 5 per photocopy. They just loot at every stage. It istime that govt bring all pvt hospitals under Regulator.

Har jagah job par experience chahiye, agar har kisiko experienced person hi chahiye to fresher log kya karenge.. Hum Hindi medium walo ko bahut problem face karni padti hai sir.. Professional course to surf ameero k liye hi hai, gareeb to sochte hue b darta h. Fir b jugad karke kuchh log kar lete h. Sir agar govt k tarf se garibo k liye is vishay me kuch ho jaye to I m sure 40% unemployment ghat jayegi.. I hope meri ye baat modi ji aap tak pahuche. We have a lot of expectatins from you sir.

We need to encourage beverage Industry with more fiscal incentives in terms of excise, vat and income tax. This will create job in rural india as well as reduce wastage of fruits by converting them into juices. As long as vegetables are concern we need to focus to create consumption market within 400kms radius this will challenging task since govt has to create small and smart cities across the board with good quality of social and economic infrastructure
