- cold chain logistics in every village
- fast moving supply chain system driven by deep learning as demands raise in depending costume area will be delivered
- whats the reflecting impact of reduction in urban inflation as the fine-tuned version of cold chian supply chain logistics can make
- positive impact on less farming land farmers

Cold storage supply chain has the following issues
- The cost of current technology is pretty high for it to be passed on to local marginal farmer. Indian farm land holding is pretty low and corresponding yield is even lower compared to international standards.
- Each type of farm produce, grains, fruits, vegetables, needs a different level or moisture/temperature balance.
Cold storage investment is huge, returns will take time. Hence the lag. Everyone knows it’s the way forward, everyone’s waiting for. Cost to.come down. Government is trying to derisk it.

do you have any ideas to address this problem to solve?
That’s what he mentioned in the last line.
And let me explain this: What you could process is… I think he doesn’t have any ideas to solve. OR
Realise that the idea is cost-cutting. Again. If you didn’t get this. I.e, waiting is the solution. The cost of a 16 GB pendrive seems cheaper today, all thanks to so-called capitalism.
It looks like OP is talking about cold chain logistics, while Mr. Sudarshan is referring to cold storage. Am I getting it wrong?
I may not fully understand the challenges of implementing this solution, but I relate strongly to the issues OP raised.
As someone actively involved in mushroom cultivation, I can confidently say that if rural mushroom farmers had access to reliable cold chain logistics to Bangalore, they would easily outperform most city-based growers. Mushrooms are highly perishable, and rural farmers typically have much lower production costs compared to those operating within Bangalore.
Maybe small farmers need to make groups to be able to afford cold chain transportation.
The problem stated was that small farmers and villages need a collaborative system.
They can’t afford cold chain transportation, and they especially need someone who can show them the way, sell their products.
While the logistics industry is facing issues in making sustainable margins. How come a more capital-intensive cold chain logistics system can survive in a low per capita income country?
And a true OP is suggesting that “small” farmers to collaborate. 
By the way, cold storage facilities are there in India, operated by Distributors to some extent, and they use them for their own benefit. 
By the way, I am not talking about a pen drive, just explaining that the idea of @Sudarshan is to wait. @Deepak1
It’s a system problem, especially the economic one.
I am not qualified to comment on macroeconomics, but on a more basic level, it seems there just isn’t enough refrigerated movement of goods between small towns and cities in both directions.
In the end it is the product that pays for logistics, not the farmer. So it doesn’t make sense to think that the farmer cannot afford refrigerated transport. Either the product cannot afford it, or the farmer is not transporting enough volume.
It could be scale problem. What do you think?
Well then you haven’t understood what @sandeepmanimala want to achieve at first place…
I agree that things have to start at micro level.
And I haven’t suggested to wait. It’s not my call.
Infact as a cultivating professional, it’s people like you who have to persuade government to derisk it.
Introspect on - PLI scheme, and also know the history of Milky Mist.
Start using AI sir, a good start for introspection.
Here are my prompts: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/how-much-does-government-alloc-dqWrd69rTJCyf6nRqlFOYQ
I am looking forward to your contribution. Especially to learn what prompts that I can use further…
Most Insightful, Thanks. Love the energy.
