The extremely short shelf-life of horticultural and floricultural produce results in a big chunk of the produce not making it to the market and ends up getting wasted. 70% of fruit and vegetable output is wasted, accounting for 40% of the total cost. As a social enterprise, the focus sector for its first phase is the development of low-cost storage and transportation solution for farmers and traders engaged with horticulture and floriculture.
Preservator/Sabjikothi is a wheel mountable storage for transportation of fresh fruits and vegetables. It is a cost-effective, microclimate based, portable storage that extend the shelf-life and preserve the freshness of fruits and vegetables anywhere between 5 to 30 days.
