Description

Warehousing and Cold Chain Logistics for Fresh Produce

This course outlines Warehousing and Cold Chain Logistics for Fresh Produce. It begins with an Introduction to Cold Storage Systems, covering types, design, operation, and insulation. We'll explore Controlled (CA) and Modified (MA) Atmosphere Storage, detailing principles, applications, and comparisons. The curriculum then moves to Temperature-Controlled Transportation Systems, including reefer vehicles, refrigerated containers, and essential monitoring technologies like data loggers and IoT. Key aspects of Packaging and Handling for Cold Chain to minimize spoilage are covered. Finally, the course examines Cold Chain Infrastructure in India, highlighting key players, government initiatives, global trends, challenges, and opportunities in the sector.
