Abstract: India is an agrarian economy contributing approximately 17.76% share in the country's GDP according to Statistics Times. It produces a significant amount of meat and poultry and is among the top producers of milk and fruits and vegetables. And with this responsibility arises a dire need to prevent these perishable eatables from spoiling and ultimately being wasted. To compensate for this need there is must be a world-class cold chain system. Cold storage units are temperature-controlled supply chain networks that are used to preserve fresh produce for an extended period. The Indian Government has proposed many reforms for the agriculture sector under the Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan (2020). The purpose of this paper is to point out the importance and requirement of more robust and efficient cold storage chains in India.
