New Delhi, Feb 3 : The central government on Tuesday said that with access to low cost credit under Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (AIF), APMCs can setup post-harvest infrastructure such as sorting and grading units, assaying units, drying yards, cold storages, and warehouses for the benefit of farmers for better price realisation of quality produce, ability to store and sell at a better price and minimise post of harvest looses, as the suitable infrastructure will help to reduce post-harvest losses, which can be as high as 5-10 percent of the produce.
