100,000 warehouses identified for bringing under the fold of WDRA: Chairperson
India has identified more than 100,000 warehouses as part of a push to reduce post-harvest losses, noted Ms Anita Praveen, Chairperson, Warehousing Development and Regulatory Authority (WDRA), at the recent 16th FICCI Foodworld India 2025 conference.
“Today, we have over 100,000 identified warehouses, and we are trying to bring in as many as possible into the fold of the WDRA,” she said.
The integration of warehousing and food processing is considered crucial for handling India’s growing agricultural production, which continues to increase year after year. “The food processing sector and warehousing are two very crucial players as far as the surplus food is concerned. Otherwise, we end up with lots of losses of food,” she added.
