SaptKrishi Scientific Pvt.Ltd. has developed a 'Microcliate Storage/ Sabjikothi,' which is a low-cost storage and transportation solution that can be utilized for the storage of horticultural produce ranging from 10 to 40 days depending upon the particular crop. It is one of its kind solution that only require a litre of water per day and 20 watts of electricity either on-grid or off-grid. For the capacity of upto 500 KG the cost is around 10000 rupees only. The storage is self- adaptable and sustainable as it doesn’t require cooling neither chemical to extend the shelf-life of fruits and vegetables and is a green solution.
The extremely short shelf life of horticultural and floricultural produce results in a big chunk of the produce not making it to the market at all and ends up getting wasted. 70% of fruit and vegetable output is wasted, accounting for 40% of the total cost. As a result, fruit and vegetable prices are twice what they would be otherwise. Sabjikothi addresses the issue of the perishability of horticultural commodities and works on reducing waste by the provision of affordable technology directly to individual farmers, cooperatives, and traders to ensure better post-harvest outcomes.
SaptKrishi Scientific Pvt.Ltd. is a young Agri-Tech start-up incubated at IIT Kanpur, with youth in decisive roles who are determined to work towards agricultural innovation and the transformation of rural South-East Asia. As a social enterprise, the focus sector for its first phase is the development of low-cost storage and transportation solution for farmers and traders engaged with horticulture and floriculture.
