Abstract :
Cold chain Supply is comparatively a newer concept in Indian economy. Although, it is a need of current time to think and develop a network of the cold chain for better storage and supply of food and other perishable products. As the economy has evolved, the government’s focus has shifted towards service sector. Hence, the condition of food safety has deteriorated over time. GoI has continuously been trying to explore the field of cold chain supply and trying to identify the concerns and opportunities to modernize the supply chain in India. Many small actors are playing important role in complete distribution chain of agro-products. It has now become of high importance to recognize the proactive relationship (Interaction) between the cold chain supply and public-private partnership approach for storage and distribution in India. Public-Private Partnership (PPP) has been proved to be advantageous for executing the same world over. This study would focus on identifying the significant characteristics of Cold Chain Supply, and PPP and also, the ways of managing PPPs in Cold Chain Supply.
