joint sector at- Mumbai - Nasik - Nagpur.

for perishable fruits and vegetables with few or no middle men so that farmers /growers /producers can receive more

remunerative prices for their produce• The project is in primary stage • Maharashtra State Agricultural Marketing Board is Nodal Agency for the Mumbai and Nasik Terminal Market.

prices to farmers.

farmer’s produce

• It has potential to generate additional employment in rural areas.

• The interests of the consumer in the city is well served since he gets fresh produce of

improved quality in clean and graded form directly from farmer /farms without too

much handling.

RURAL GODOWNS• State Ware Housing Corporation and Central Ware Housing

Corporation and the APMCs have set up fairly large capacities (estimated at 40 lakh MT)

• There is still large scope for more storages.

• The Government of Maharashtra has named the MSAMB as the nodal agency for promoting godowns under the GraminBhandaran Yojana.

• The total fund requirement for setting up 20 lakhs MT storage capacity Godowns is estimated at Rs. 40000 Lakhs.

Page 43: Agril Mkt Reforms in Maharastra

43

COLD CHAIN• To reduce post harvest losses substantially and

supply quality produce for consumers, both domestic and international, a comprehensive cold chain is suggested in the State. Keeping in view the expected market surplus of fruits and vegetables by 2007 and available cold storage capacity, the Task Force recommends creation of an additional capacity of 56.50 lakhs tons during 10th plan.

• The cost for setting up supply chain including construction of cold storage, reefer vans, zero energy chambers, modifications of existing cold storage etc. is Rs 20800 lakhs.

Page 44: Agril Mkt Reforms in Maharastra

44

PERISHABLE AIR CARGO HANDLING COMPLEX

• Air cargo center- an important link in the export of fresh fruits and vegetables out of India.

• At Air cargo center value addition takes place through -washing, sorting, grading, packaging, as needed pre-cooling and cold storage to enhance shelf life.

• Attached to this center SPS and Residue Testing centers are proposed.

• Thus all these functions are proposed in a Perishable Cargo Handling Complex.

• Such Perishable Cargo Handling Complexes are proposed to set at Terminal Markets at Mumbai, Nagpur and Pune.

• In all the Perishable Cargo Handling Complexes are expected to cost around Rs 4800 lakhs

Page 45: Agril Mkt Reforms in Maharastra

45

CONTRACT FARMING• Successful examples of Contract Farming can be seen in

various parts of Maharashtra. 1. Wine producers contracts with various grape growing farmers on

a large extent. 2. Pepsico Company contracts with potato growing farmers in Pune

& Nasik districts. 3. Venkatesh Hatcheries does contract farming in poultry business

in Pune & Nagar districts. 4. The Sugarcane Growers enter into contracts with the Sugar

Factories to sell there sugarcane & obtain seeds, fertilizers & technology from the sugar factories.

• In Maharashtra, there is a large scope to enter into contract farming agreements..

• Due to contract farming there will defiantly be benefits to the farmers, processors, exporters & retail chain operators of Maharashtra.
