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.

We have introduced KVP again, with the purpose of providing good investment instrument for rural people. Its very appreciable step towards unearthing black money also. BUT as it is tread-able bearer instrument it needs to be copy proof or we will have malice of fake KVP. What are the features to prevent fake KVP, should be widely publicized.

Please introduce 15 Rs. currency note to overcome the shortage of Rs. 5 coin or note. It will boost FMGC market, help small wanders and people. We don't have any currency in the denomination of Rs. 5 except this. It will be good cast back proposal for government also.
