1 Broader issues for India, capacity building & Technical standards in Cold chain-india Royal Delicious - Kinnaur! Clean&technologies&based&Sustainable Cold&Chain& Clean&and&Cool &Summit&&! London,&UK,&1st&July&2014 Dr. R.K. Sharma Former Director National Horticulture Board Ministry of Agriculture, Govt. of India, and Former, Core Expert (FAO, UN 1

2 Inefficient Agric Supply Chain In India

3 Status of Cold Chain in India Commodity Production (million MT) Reefer Trucks Cold Storage (Million MT) Milk ,000* 0.1 Meat & Poultry 7 Fisheries Fresh F&V (CAS) Potato 45 30

4 Cold Chain business models-f&v in India. Pulling down of temperature to storage temperature in Cold Storage over a longer period- potato, spices etc.. Multi-chamber, commodity-commodity stores in urban areas (with or without pre-cooling).. Rapid cooling by pre-cooling & transport (grapes, flowers) pre-cooling & cold store (carrots, mangoes, cherries, litchi) Controlled Atmosphere store (apple/pomegranate/lemon/nuts). d. Storage in Frozen Condition by Blast Breezing (chicken & meat) Instant Quick Freezing (Peas & other cut vegetables) e. Storage in Crushed Ice f. Reefer van / reefer containers!

5 CHANGING PATTERN OF NHB SCHEMES

6 International Trade Export Markets Middle East, US & EU are the largest buyers of fresh & frozen F&V from India (app volumes 10,000 containers) UK is the largest market for Indian vegetables mostly exported in chilled form by air India exports 25 million stems of 6

7 International Benchmarking Transportation of farm produce (F&V) through Cold Chain 80 85% in US & Europe 30 40% in Thailand 8-10% in Asia - Pacific Negligible >5% in India F & V Reaching Thailand level will need USD 8 billion additional investment by 2015 Milk & Protein<60 & 40%

8 Multi-Modal Transit Hubs # # #Four multi-modal hubs at strategic locations one in each region; North, West, East and South based on a) where the demand is - both for inbound as well as outbound b) the extent of demand- Feasibility of making Full Train Loads In Future ) superior connectivity both through Road (Golden Quadrilateral) & Rail (Proposed Freight Corridor)// Delhi Delhi Mumbai Mumbai MH MH MH MH MH MH Chennai Chennai # # MH Kolkata Calcu.a

10 Human Resource Development HRD positioning to match advancement in technologies. Syllabus approved by Standing Committee on training and HRDs for 4 courses: Graduate Engineers; 2 weeks certificate course for 20/batch (3 batches/year) Skill Upgradation Programme for Cold Store Operations (SUPCO); at request of Associations/ Departments, in areas of concentration Skill Upgradation Programme for Refer Transport Operations; (10-15 candidates/batch) Fruit Ripening training with international Cooperation at New Delhi facility Need for institutionalized training (s)?

12 SUPCO Training - Certificate

13 Regulation through technical standards (2010) Amount of subsidy linked to the level of technology employed through the following five technical standards notified Cold storages for storage of fresh bulk hort produce which do not require pre-cooling Multi-commodity Cold storages for short term & long term storage of fresh horticulture products which require pre-cooling and varying storage requirements. Control Atmosphere (CA) Storages: Active modified atmosphere systems, control of one or more gases (Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon dioxide) within an enclosed space, is a Non-chemical process. Scientific Fruit Ripening Units Specialized Transport Vehicles including insulated and or refrigerated transport vehicles for perishable food items including fresh fruits & vegetables.

14 Standards-Minimum Requirement Contribution of CII, BIS, BEE, IITD, CBRI, CPRI, GCCA, APEDA, NCDC, DMI, etc. Indian Standards / Codes referred Relevant standard codes of ISHRAE / ASME / ASHRAE / IIAR International Codes of ISO Ensure system integrity, efficiency and overall safety, operation, maintenance & servicing etc. Not to be construed as limiting good practice. 14

15 India Opportunity FDI in retail expected to trigger investment in back end infrastructure including cold chain Cold Chain Market is estimated >3million USD & growing at CAGR of 11% Food market experiencing 8% CAGR Growth in chilled segment and 17% in Frozen segment Adequate Technical talent available Familiarity in international markets to drive larger growth Current Domestic players are largely India Reliant 15

16 Growth Enabler

17 Synergy with other Institutions Indian agric Research Centers for produce protocols & ISHRAE, ASHRE for other critical areas International: GCCA for basic concepts & conditions through WFLO, IARW, IART. India member to IIR, Paris. GeorgiaTech Cold Chain Management & logistics Institute, Grimsby University, imeche Integration through Knowledge sharing and awareness by CII, FICCI etc. Economically viable technology solutions in terms of integrated cold chain for tropical fruits, and HRD.

18 Approach towards clean and sustainable technologies in India Green cold chains concept combining natural light, solar PV lights, reflective coatings, turbo ventilation, rain water harvest & water cycling being promoted Trends towards using ammonia for larger plants due to improved coefficient of performance than Freon Solar refrigeration promotion & keen interest of industry Other sources of energy like rice husk & straw, biological mass etc. find increased use for power generation Ammonia CO2 brine/cascade possible, & liquid air in the process of development will also find place in India, steadily.
