SN Outcomes
The purpose of this project is
to prove that the proposed
temperature controlled
warehouse would be effective
1 to increase the income level of
farmers
Increased farmers’ income level
by reducing the opportunity loss
by selling with heavy discounts
due to the product deterioration
2
transform the style of
agriculture into more value
addition oriented marketing by
3
conducting proper selection
process in the temperature
controlled warehouse
increase the food related
lifestyle level of consumers and
stabilizing price level by
increasing the supply of stable
quality crops
