Mysuru: Despite India being the world’s largest producer of milk and second largest producer of fruits and vegetables, about 40 to 50 per cent of the total production ends up wasted, said CFTRI retired Deputy Director T.R. Prabhu.
He was delivering a lecture on ‘Low Temperature Preservation of Fruits and Vegetables,’ organised by the Institution of Engineers (India), Mysuru Local Centre, in association with Indian Society of Heating Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning (ISHRAE) as part of World Refrigeration Day, at its premises on JLB Road here recently.
