Building a cold storage facility in India costs roughly ₹50 lakh to ₹2 crore, with rents around ₹200-500 per bag per season, and while potatoes dominate due to their bulk and political economy, this focus neglects our smallholder diversification. From my terrace, I see our co-op's *rajma* and *matar* losing value in sacks, waiting for a market that prioritises cold chains for monocrops. My own *bua* lost a season's alfalfa to spoilage, a quiet waste no storage scheme accounts for.
