The project envisages establishment of modern CA storage facilities and advanced ventilated cold storage rooms for fruits and vegetables at selected locations including Peshawar, Quetta, Gilgit and Multan, sources disclosed to this scribe here.
The CA is an advanced commonly used technique to store and keep fruit and vegetable products fresh for a much longer time as compared to conventional cold storage practices.
Fresh statistics say, approximately, 25 to 40 percent fruits and vegetables get damaged during the post-harvest process such as storage, transportation and sale as the available storage system lacks innovations.
According to the plan, the storage facilities would be built up in collaboration with Chinese firm “Beiging Fruitong Sciences and Technology Co Ltd” through procurement of needed machinery and its installation.
The project is expected to be completed by 2015, for which the Chinese government provide Rs 1.862 billion as grant and local component for this scheme includes Rs 366.878 million.
Under the project, advanced ventilated cold storage rooms for potato would be established in selected sites including Okara, Daska and Karachi.
