Prospects of Cold Chain Infrastructure in North-Eastern Region

Scheme for Cold Chain, Value Addition and Preservation Infrastructure

Launched in FY 2008-09 with the underlying objectives :

To provide integrated and complete cold chain and preservation infrastructure facilities without any break, from the farm gate to the consumer To enable linking groups of producers to the processors and market through well equipped supply chain To establish value addition with infrastructural facilities like sorting, grading, packaging and processing of produce. To arrest Post Harvest Horticulture & Non Horticulture (Dairy, Marine, Meat etc.) losses

Eligible Project Components

Minimal Processing Centre at farm level

Facilities such as weighing, sorting, grading waxing, packing, pre- cooling, Controlled Atmosphere (CA) / Modified Atmosphere (MA) cold storage, normal storage and IQF.

Mobile pre-cooling vans and reefer trucks Distribution Hubs

multi product and multi CA /MA chambers, cold storage /Variable Humidity Chambers, Packing facility, CIP Fog treatment, IQF and blast freezing.

Irradiation Facility

To avail financial assistance, any two of the above components, to be part of project; Irradiation facility treated as a stand alone project

Pattern of Assistance

50% of the Bank Appraised cost of Plant & Machinery and Technical Civil Work in General Areas 75% for NE Region and difficult areas( North Eastern States, Sikkim, J&K , Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand) Subject to a maximum grant-in-aid of Rs. 10 crore per project

52 projects completed – created capacity of 2.16 lakh MT of Cold Storage/CA/MA/Deep Freezer 80.3 lakh litres per day of milk processing 98.5 MT/hour of Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) 271 number of Reefer Transport 56 projects under implementation will create capacity of 1.48 lakh MT of Cold Storage/CA/MA/Deep Freezer 26.65 lakh litres per day of milk processing 51.5 MT/hour of Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) 330 number of Reefer Transport
