an estimated ~INR200b. Trade is carried on primarily on credit. Almost 35% <strong>of</strong> the<br />
fruits and vegetables produced perish due to lack <strong>of</strong> cold chain and distribution<br />
infrastructure. Farm sizes are small and farmers sell their produce at nearby markets/<br />
mandis. Almost the entire chain is currently composed <strong>of</strong> unorganized players. <strong>The</strong><br />
introduction <strong>of</strong> GST will lead to increased requirement <strong>of</strong> total logistics solutions<br />
such as 3PL/4PL, inventory /warehouse management, contract logistics services and<br />
knowledge support services.<br />
