OBJECTIVES«
´ Understanding the supply
chain of potato in India.
´ Identify constraints in cultivation and post harvestmanagement and how they can be reduced.
´ Identifying issues leading to wastage of harvested crops(potato)
´ To know the pattern or ways of packaging,transportation and storage of potato.
´ Options for improvements in the supply chain, as well asthe required complementary innovations inorganizations.

POTATO SUPPLY CHAIN INDIA
´ India produces around 25 million metric tons of potatoes that contribute to approximately 8 % of theworld·s total produce.
´ This crop is grown in 1.5 million hectares of land in Indiaranking 4th among the countries having maximum areacultivated for potatoes.
´ Three of the major producing regions are UP, WestBengal and Bihar, accounting for about 72% of the
national production.´ The sector developing most rapidly is the snack foods
sector, including potato chips. Market leader is Frito-laywith a 45 % market share. Haldiram's has a 27% marketshare.

METHODOLOGY«.
´ The data was collected
through primary as well as secondary sources.
´
Information in several technical bulletins,annual reports, websites were reviewed on the
identified topics.

POST HARVESTM ANAGEMENT «.
1. Post harvest losses:
´ Under tropical and sub-tropical conditions, the losses due to
poor handling and storage are reported to be in between 40-50
per cent. The post harvest losses of potatoes are defined asqualitative and quantitative losses. The qualitative losses
greatly reduce the price of potatoes.
´ Following is a chart showing the qualitative losses in post
harvest stage:

2. PACKAGING
Handling and packaging of potatoes are done generally on
farm. After harvesting, the tubers are kept in a heapedcondition temporarily and covered with straw. After a few
days, sorting is done for separating the diseased and cuttubers. The sound tubers are packed in hessian cloth bagsor nettlon bags.
´ Materials used for Packaging
a) Hessian bags:Ordinary hessian bags are used for packing potatoes with a
capacity of 80 kgs,50 kgs and 20kgs.
b) Nettlon bags:
25 kgs bags made of plastic net are preferred for export
purpose.

3. TRANSPORTATION
a) Head Loads: The age old method of carrying produce by a person on the head.
b) Bullock / Camel carts : Bullock / Camel carts are the primarymeans of transport in most rural areas.
c) Tractor trolley: The use of tractor attached with a trolley iscommonly used for transporting potatoes in many parts in thecountry.
d) Trucks : Large or bulk quantity of potatoes are carried by thetrucks to the distant places through out the country.
e) Railway Transport : During harvesting season, considerablequantities of potato are transported by railway wagons.

4. STORAGE
´ Traditional Storage
´ Heap storage
´ Pit storage´ Wooden storage structure
´ Storage in rooms
´ Storage in baskets´ Storage in layers

OBSERVATIONS«
On the basis of study conducted on
supply chain management of
potato in India key constraints identified were:
(i) poor quality planting material
(ii) lack of proper infrastructure for transportation
and storage
(iii) lack of technology and machinery.
(iv) Unorganized market structure

CONCLUSION
«.
´ Subsistence potato growing in developing countries isdeclining as producers reorient toward domestic andinternational markets.
´ Global consumption is shifting from fresh potatoes tovalue-added processed products.
´ Despite its importance as a staple food and incombating hunger and poverty, potato has been
neglected in agricultural development policies for foodcrops.
´ About 17% of potatoes is lost in post harvest handling.The country loses Rs 2000 Cr. worth of potatoes everyyear. That is 3.9 MM tons ² almost half of what
Germany and UK produce together.

CONTD«
´ Handle potatoes like eggs not likestones, focus on efficient harvesting
and storage practices need to be given.
´ Critical factors in successful storage include variety,
methods of culture, harvest, field curing,temperatureand humidity control, storage and sprout inhibition.
´ Development of new processes, which have minimaleffect on environment, and products having lower fat
content, fewer additives while maintaining crispiness.
´ Development of specialized cold chain system tosupport the farm to market infrastructure for potato.
´ Technological and financial support for establishment
of cold storages and potato processing industries.
