The State Government has given approval to establishing cold storage facility for vegetables and fruits in Kalaburagi, Minister for Agriculture B.C. Patil said here on Wednesday.
The Government will allocate ₹9.80 crore for setting up the cold storage with a 5,000 tonne capacity.
Addressing a gathering after laying the foundation stone for the proposed farmers training centre building at Kotnoor D Village on the outskirts of the city, Mr. Patil said that farmers are facing great difficulty in the absence of cold storage, especially after harvesting. Farmers ended up throwing vegetables and fruits on the road after finding it difficult to sell their produces during the lockdown and such units will help them in preserving their produce for a longer period, he added.
