Requirement of Common Facility Centres

Current Horticulture Production is (for 2008-09) 15.0 million tons. Based on domestic market rates of fruits and vegetables, its total worth is estimated at around Rs 225 billions($2.60 billion).

Among other things, one of the main constraint of horticulture sector is heavy post harvest losses estimated at 20-40 % mainly attributable to poor/ less than satisfactory infrastructure for post harvest treatment of horticulture produce e.g., pack houses, cold stores & refrigerated transport.

Compliance of SPS requirements of the importing countries requires infrastructure like, hot water treatment, cold treatment, irradiation, vapour heat treatment etc. besides Global GAP, HACCP, ISO 22000 certification.

Since, the above said infrastructure is costly, establishment of common facility centres is the appropriate solution.

Collection Points being established by PHDEC is a step in this direction. Paras Foods and Apple Grading Plant at Quetta are other CFC’s under PHDEC.

PHDEC has entered into a joint venture with a private sector partner for processing of Fresh Fruits & Vegetables Processing at Karachi.

PHDEC, on directive of Taskforce on NTCIP / Ministry of Commerce, has been working on a mega project comprising common facility centres for horti products.
