Despite millions of Indians going to bed on a hungry stomach, the country is letting food worth a whopping Rs 50,000 crore go waste each year due to lack of adequate storage infrastructure. While the wasted fruits and vegetables alone was estimated at Rs 15,300 crore, other food products like rice, wheat, serials and meat are also allowed to perish without consumption.
