Haryana Plans to Add 20 Lakh Metric Tonnes of Grain Storage Capacity in 2024
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has directed officials to create 20 lakh metric tonnes of additional grain storage capacity this year to reduce post-harvest losses caused by inadequate warehousing. Currently, the state produces significant quantities of wheat, rice, fruits, vegetables, and dairy but has only 66 lakh metric tonnes of storage capacity, which needs expansion to 130 lakh metric tonnes. Officials emphasized the need for covered warehouses and cold storage infrastructure as part of a comprehensive plan to protect food grains and meet future demands.
