Internet Of Things (IOT) Enabled Reefer Containers From Shipwaves To Yieldbetter Revenues For Export Crops

According to APEDA, India exported fruits and vegetables worth USD 670 million in 2016-17. The major export destinations include UAE, Netherlands, Malaysia, UK, Saudi Arabia etc.

The Indian government has a vision to double farmers’ income in the next 5 years and has drawn up policies to reduce production cost and increase productivity. The government is aggressively promoting rural development with impetus on agricultural mechanization, irrigation penetration through allocation of funds - critical components in improving the state of agriculture in the country.

Also, the government’s efforts in providing easier access to credit for farmers, friendly policies and the new and growing trend of collaborative farming in India have encouraged the farming community to embrace mechanization, leading to a structural shift in demand towards high powered agricultural machinery.

Hence a proper supply chain management in fruits and vegetables has to be improved in all the stages of the supply by adopting global best practices in storage, packaging, handling, transportation, value added service etc to meet the international market standards for fruits and vegetables.
