Challenges in the Cold Chain System in Emerging Economies
In many emerging economies like India, a significant amount of food goes to waste due to the lack of refrigeration mechanisms throughout the supply chain. This results in a loss of income for smallholder farmers, impacting their livelihoods. A solution to this issue is the introduction of cold storage units, like the one used by farmer Vijay Kumar in Bihar, India. By utilizing solar-powered cold storage, farmers can store produce such as mangoes and leeches for extended periods, enabling them to sell at optimal prices and significantly reducing food wastage.
