Project Description
The United States Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) approved
funding in the amount of $500,000 for activities (e.g. training,
workshops, technical assistance) that addressed existing weaknesses
in India's cold chain infrastructure. The objective of the program
was to engage Indian importers, distributors and retailers that
handle U.S. products in activities to facilitate improved handling
of products throughout various stages of the cold chain, ultimately
resulting in an increase in the value and volume of U.S. perishable
food exports. Improvements to the Indian cold chain will also
benefit Indian producers, retailers and consumers. This program is
part of the U.S.-India Agriculture Knowledge Initiative (AKI) and
was deemed a high priority by the Government of India and United
States Government members of the AKI committee.
