The Pusa Farm Sunfridge proves to be particularly beneficial for small-scale farmers and traders. Unlike traditional storage methods, this air-conditioned storage unit offers a cost-effective solution to preserve crops and vegetables for extended periods without relying on electricity. Developed by scientists at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), Pusa, this invention aims to mitigate losses incurred due to inadequate storage facilities.
One of the primary challenges faced by Indian farmers is the lack of proper storage infrastructure. While food grains can be stored in regular conditions, perishable items like vegetables and fruits require cold storage facilities. Unfortunately, such facilities are often scarce in rural areas, forcing farmers to sell their produce immediately after harvesting, often at unfavorable prices. The absence of adequate storage options leads to substantial wastage of agricultural produce.
The Pusa Farm Sunfridge offers a solution to the storage woes of farmers across India. This solar-powered cold storage unit requires a one-time installation cost, making it accessible to farmers of all economic backgrounds. Unlike conventional cold storage units, it operates without the need for electricity or chemical batteries, utilizing solar energy for daytime cooling and innovative technology for nighttime temperature maintenance.
For farmers interested in installing the Pusa Farm Sunfridge, inquiries can be directed to the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) in New Delhi. Developed by Dr. Sangeeta Chopra and her team in collaboration with researchers from Michigan State University, this innovative solution promises to transform storage practices and increase the income of farmers across the country.

With its solar-powered operation, portability, and capacity to preserve perishable produce, it has the potential to significantly boost farmer’s income and also reduce post-harvest losses, paving the path for agricultural prosperity.
