Cold Storage Subsidy

A cold storage warehouse is a facility designed for the storage of temperature-sensitive products, such as perishable foods or pharmaceuticals, at low temperatures to prevent spoilage or degradation.

What is Cold Storage Subsidy?

Introduction

The goal of the MIDH Cold Chain, Value Addition, and Preservation Infrastructure Scheme is to provide integrated cold chain and preservation infrastructure facilities from the farm gate to the consumer. It includes the development of infrastructure facilities along the entire supply chain, such as farm-level pre-cooling, weighing, sorting, grading, and waxing, as well as multi-product/multi-temperature cold storage, CA storage, packing facility, IQF, blast freezing in distribution hubs and reefer vans, and mobile cooling units for facilitating distribution of horticulture, organic produce, marine, dairy, meat, and poultry, among other things. 

The scheme allows for project planning flexibility, with a focus on the development of cold chain infrastructure at the farm level. A cold storage is a large chilled room or structure intended for the storage of goods in a setting with a temperature lower than the outside. Refrigerated products include fruits and vegetables, seafood, and meat. Cold storage facilities are frequently found near shipping ports used for product imports and exports.
