The total production of fruits and vegetables in the world is around 370 MT. India ranks first in the world with an annual output of 32 MT. While there are almost 180 families of fruits that are grown all over the world, citrus fruits constitute around 20% of world's total fruit production. Major Indian fruits consist of mango, banana, citrus fruits, apple, guava, papaya, pineapple and grapes. Last decades have seen the number of Indian fruit vegetables suppliers and fruits vegetables exporters rising to an all time high. India with its current production of around 32 million MT of fruit, accounts for about 8% of the world's fruit production. The diverse agro-climatic zones in the country makes it possible to grow almost all varieties of fresh fruits and vegetables in India. The fruit production in India has recorded a growth rate of 3.9%, whereas the fruit processing sector has grown at about 20% per annum. However, the growth rates have been extensively higher for frozen fruits & vegetables (121%) and dehydrated fruits & vegetables (24%). India is the second largest producer of vegetables in the world (ranks next to China) and accounts for about 15% of the world's production of vegetables. The current production level is over 71 million MT and the total area under vegetable cultivation is around 6.2 million hectares which is about 3% of the total area under cultivation in the country. In case of vegetables, potato, tomato, onion, cabbage and cauliflower account for around 60% of the total vegetable production in the country. Since liberalisation and withdrawal of excise duty on fruit and vegetable products there has been significant rise in the growth rate of the industry. Since, fruits and vegetables are highly perishable, efficient Post Harvest Management has become an absolute necessity. It is also important for effective exploitation of export potential of fruits and vegetables. But India loses about 35-40% of the produce due to improper Post Harvest Management. A loss estimated at Rs 40,000 crores per year! India wastes fruits and vegetables every year equivalent to the annual consumption of the United Kingdom. To avoid the Post Harvest Losses a chain of cold storages, need to be created along with Post Harvest Management practices like pre cooling, cold storages and refrigerated transport.
