Food waste in India is a growing crisis, with nearly 40% of fresh produce being lost before it even reaches consumers. This challenge is especially alarming given India’s rapidly expanding population, which is expected to surpass China’s in the coming years. As the demand for food increases, the strain on the supply chain intensifies, exacerbating inefficiencies, especially in the post-harvest stages. Addressing this issue requires both innovation and collaboration, which is where the partnership between PerfoTec and Sanviha Food Tech Solutions comes into play.

Together, PerfoTec, a global leader in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) technology, and Sanviha, their trusted agent and distributor in India, are tackling one of the most pressing issues facing India’s agricultural sector: reducing food waste.

The Food Waste Challenge in India

India’s population, currently over 1.4 billion, is growing rapidly, putting immense pressure on the country’s food system. The food supply chain is not equipped to handle this increasing demand, particularly because it lacks adequate cold storage and efficient transportation. As a result, much of the fresh produce grown by farmers spoils during transit, long before it reaches the market. The economic losses are significant, with billions of dollars worth of food being wasted each year, contributing to food insecurity and environmental damage.

Why the Supply Chain Needs Innovation

India’s agricultural supply chain is characterized by fragmented infrastructure, poor access to refrigeration, and inefficient logistics. The lack of a reliable, cooled supply chain means that fruits and vegetables deteriorate rapidly in the country’s hot climate. Without proper preservation methods, farmers and retailers face huge losses, and consumers often end up with subpar or spoiled produce. This is where PerfoTec’s MAP technology can make a difference.

Perfotec’s Modified Atmosphere Packaging

PerfoTec’s Modified Atmosphere Packaging technology is a breakthrough solution designed to extend the shelf life of fresh produce. By controlling the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels inside packaging, MAP creates the ideal environment to slow down the ripening process of fruits and vegetables. This means that fresh produce can stay fresh for days or even weeks longer than traditional packaging methods allow.

The technology works by perforating packaging films with laser technology, creating micro-holes that allow the optimal balance of gases inside. This advanced system is highly effective in reducing spoilage and preserving the freshness of produce, even in challenging supply chains like those in India.

Sanviha Food Tech Solutions, Partner in India

Sanviha Food Tech Solutions plays a critical role in bringing PerfoTec’s innovative technology to the Indian market. As the exclusive agent and distributor in India, Sanviha has the local expertise and industry connections needed to promote and implement MAP technology across the country. Sanviha works closely with farmers, wholesalers, and retailers to provide tailored solutions that fit the specific needs of India’s agricultural landscape.

Together, PerfoTec and Sanviha are committed to reducing food waste, supporting farmers, and improving the efficiency of India’s supply chain. By combining PerfoTec’s world-class technology with Sanviha’s deep understanding of the local market, the two companies are working in perfect synergy to make a tangible impact.

Building a Sustainable Future for India

This partnership is all about teamwork. Both companies share a vision of a more sustainable and efficient food system for India. They are dedicated to helping Indian farmers get more value out of their harvests, reducing waste, and ensuring that fresh produce reaches consumers in the best possible condition.

By addressing the weak links in India’s supply chain and introducing cutting-edge preservation methods, PerfoTec and Sanviha are taking meaningful steps toward a future where food waste is minimized, and fresh produce is more readily available to all.

Together, PerfoTec and Sanviha Are Fighting Food Waste

As India continues to grow, both in terms of population and economy, reducing food waste becomes more critical than ever. The collaboration between PerfoTec and Sanviha Food Tech Solutions is setting a new standard for how fresh produce can be preserved, transported, and sold in the Indian market. Their Modified Atmosphere Packaging technology is transforming the way food is handled from farm to table, significantly reducing spoilage and loss.

By working together, PerfoTec and Sanviha are not only improving the efficiency of India’s food supply chain but also supporting sustainability goals and helping to reduce the country’s carbon footprint. Their partnership is a powerful example of how international technology and local expertise can come together to solve real-world problems, creating a brighter, more sustainable future for India’s food system.
