Reducing post-harvest losses: Budget focuses on improved infrastructure for crops growers.
Aug 19, 2024

In developing countries, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), estimates that 30-40 per cent of total production can be lost before it reaches the market. If we talk about India specifically then a 2022 government-backed study showed that approximately 5-13 per cent of fruits and vegetables were lost between harvesting and consumption. For the other crops, including oilseeds and spices, the loss ranges from 3-7 per cent, reducing the benefits India ought to have enjoyed from its overall produce.
