Integrated Cold Chain Subsidy | MoFPI Cold Chain Scheme India
Integrated Cold Chain - Industrial Subsidy
The scheme was introduced to enhance the infrastructure for Cold Chain Logistics, Preservation and value addition facilities so that there will not be any break from the farm gate to the consumer in order to reduce post-harvest losses of horticulture and non-horticulture agri-produce. This will enable linking groups of producers to processors and market through a well-equipped supply chain and cold chain, thereby ensuring remunerative prices to farmers and year-round availability of food products to consumers.
