Cold Chain Utilization and Post-Harvest Loss Reduction in Andhra Pradesh
Abstract

Introduction

Cold chain systems enable transporting and storing of perishable food items such as seafood, dairy products, and fruits and vegetables through temperature-controlled methods to prevent food spoilage (Haji et al., 2020). These systems protect against product waste by preserving product quality throughout the supply chain. The food industry depends on cold chain systems because they enable both food security and sustainable development (Trotter et al., 2023).
