Saket Gokhale’s supplementary question during Question Hour on the steps being taken by the government to minimise the post-harvest losses of foodgrains, and fruits and vegetables
Sir, my question here is for Q.No.46. Currently, post-harvest losses of food grains in India are estimated to be between 18 per cent to 25 per cent and for fruits and vegetables, the post-harvest losses are even higher at about 45 per cent. Also, the other thing is that because of these post-harvest losses, food inflation has gone up drastically to about 9.4 per cent in India. So, my question to the Minister is: “What steps are being taken by the Ministry to bring down the amount of postharvest losses of food grains and fruits and vegetables?” Thank you, Sir.
