Description India is the 7th largest producer of Apple in the world. The total production and
area under apple cultivation in India is 1.993 Million Tonnes and 279800 ha respectively
(Indian Horticulture Database, 2010). However, the post-harvest looses in apple is very
huge. India produces about 8 per cent of the world’s fruit, but looses 25 to 40 per cent of
the fruits produced due to lack of post harvesting infrastructure such as cold chains,
transportation, and storage and processing facilities. The objectives of the study were to
assess the method of consolidation of Apple and its movement to the market yard, to
examine the infrastructure facilities in the supply chain of apple and to estimate the losses
in the supply chain. The required data were collected from 60 apple growers, 10
wholesalers and 15 retailers. Only 8.30 per cent of the farmers sell their produce only to
customers, 1.70 per cent sell only to retailers and 28.30 per cent sell only to wholesalers
directly. The consolidation of the apple in the village was mainly done by the
wholesalers. The only facilities that were provided to the apple growers were saplings,
packing material and fencing facility. The post-harvest loss at the farmer’s level was
found to be 11.07 per cent and the value lost was 12.20 per cent of the total produce. The
loss at wholesaler’s level was 2.93 per cent in volume and 2.98 per cent in value. The
handling losses at retailer’s level were 6.74 per cent of the quantity handled and 6.84 per
cent loss in value.
