10.16. SWOT Analysis

1 Strengths
2 Weaknesses
3 Opportunities
4 Threats

MARKET VIABILITY
1.Raw material commodities and their characteristics

S.No Name of Commodity Characteristics
proposed to be stored
Physical Biological Chemical
Horticulture produce are special as they respire even after harvest.

For single commodity storage
1) Harvesting time (morning/evening hours when temperature is low ) and pre cooling
requirement of product
2) Minimize mechanical injury during harvest/handling prior to storage
3) Requirement of operations like desapping in case of mango
4) Climacteric or non-climacteric nature of produce
5) Requirement of blanching ( to inactivate enzymes in case of frozen peas)
6) Temperature and humidity ranges for safe storage of produce
7) Chilling injury temperature ranges
For Multi commodity storage
In addition to above factors of single commodity, following considerations are needed
1) The commodities mix should be such that there is match of temperature and humidity,
levels of ethylene production and sensitivity for all commodities
Examples of ethylene producing and ethylene sensitive products:
 Ethylene producing: e.g. apples, avocado, bananas, pears, peaches, plums,
tomatoes
 Ethylene sensitive produce: e.g. lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, potatoes, sweet
potatoes
2) Odour transfer should be avoided by proper selection of compatible produce
Examples of odor transfers which should be avoided:
 apples/pears with celery, cabbage, carrots, potatoes or onions
 celery with onions or carrots
 citrus with strongly scented vegetables
 pears/apples with potatoes à former acquire unpleasant taste
 green pepper will taint pineapples
 onions, nuts, citrus, potatoes should be stored separately

7.Food Safety
(Includes GMP, HACCP, Allergen, Sanitation, Product Tracking and Recall

Preparedness Programs etc.)
7.1. Quality Assurance Plan
 Quality factors for fresh fruit and vegetables are defined by hygiene and quarantine
factors(e.g. parasites larvae, pupae, natural toxicants, contaminants, spray residues,
heavy metals etc.), Cosmetic appearance: size, weight, volume, dimensions, shape,
regularity, surface texture, smoothness, waxiness, gloss, colour, uniformity, intensity,
spectral, physical defects, (splits, cuts, dents, bruises), texture (firmness,
hardness/softness, crispness, mealiness-grittiness, fibrousness toughness), flavour
factors (sweetness, sourness, astringency, bitterness, aroma, off-flavours, off-odours)
and nutritional (dietary fibre, cancer inhibitors, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids,
vitamins, minerals).
 Pre-storage treatments
 Sorting/ grading
 Washing/ Disinfection
 Fungicide or other treatments (physical or chemical)
 For fruits and vegetables quality two parameters should be monitored carefully (i)
Chemical (pesticides, toxins and contaminants such as lead, cadmium, nitrate, etc.)
residue and (ii) Micro biological infection .

 Quality of produce: It is good to know the history of produce such as product
maturity, prior goods preparation, previous quality inspections like colour, firmness
and taste and produce grading. Produce must be tested for chemical residues,
nutritional factors and microbial load before storing. Before storing and when rotating
stock, it is important to remove rotting fruit from cases as one piece can affect others.
The chain reaction can quickly destroy the quality of a whole case of fruit.
 Stock control: All the produce must be checked for proper packaging on delivery.
Tightly packed pallets should also be avoided as crushing can occur, leading to the
development of bacterial growth. Packing should be such that there is enough room
for the internal fan to distribute cool air freely inside the produce Other parameters
like microbially spoiled and physically damaged produce must be segregated from the
disease free and sound produce for proper shelf life extension of produce in cold
stores.

 Audits and procedures: Clear procedures i.e Standard operating procedures (SOP’s)
must be prepared and kept in place to protect temperature sensitive products. All the
factors like required temperature for each produce, pre-cooling before loading, and
following food-grade inspection processes must be taken into account. All the
SOP’s must be precise and clearly understandable to all.
 Storage: Certification of cold storage facilities and equipment must be ensured. An
independent third-party firm should regularly certify any facilities storing
temperature-sensitive products to verify that they are clean and that their daily
operations comply with the appropriate food safety requirements. Continuous
temperature monitoring systems are available that can keep track of changes in
refrigerated storage temperatures, providing alerts to employees whenever
something is wrong. Advance warning is a good option to fix the things before
problems occur. Thermometers should be properly calibrated for cross-checking the
cold store temperature and produce temperature.
 Self-audits : Self-audits must be conducted monthly to verify employee training and
practices, to ensure compliance of food industry requirement for pest control,
warehouse sanitation, temperature control monitoring etc.

7.4. Sanitation, Hygiene and Safety
 Safe cleaning and maintenance: All the shelves and walls of cold stores must be
properly clean and in good condition. The cleaning chemicals must be documented,
used and stored properly. All the lightning and ventilation aspects must be covered
properly. At leat once in a year the entire cold stores should be fumigated with safe
chemicals for avoiding any risk of microbiological contamination. Surrounding areas
should also be checked regularly for cleanliness. Cleaning schedule and methods for
cold stores be properly documented. Any signs of pests like mice and flies should be
checked and taken care of.
 Personnel Hygiene: All the personnel staff dealing with cold stores should be properly
trained for personal hygiene like proper hand washing. Hot water, soap, paper towels
and pedal bins should be present at every wash basin.

 Use of Protective Personnel Equipment’s

8.Traceability
All traceable items must be uniquely identified and this information is shared between all
affected supply chain partners. A traceable item can be: a product or traded item (e.g.
case/carton, consumer item), a logistics unit (e.g. bin, container) and a shipment or movement
of a product or trade item. , the identification of products for the purpose of traceability
requires: i) The assignment of a unique GS1 Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) ii) The
assignment of a batch/lot number. When a product is reconfigured and/or re-packed, the new
product must be assigned a new unique product identifier (i.e. GTIN). A linkage must be
maintained between the new product and its original inputs. Following traceability
information must be supplied:
 Logistic unit identifier
 Commodity name and, where applicable, variety name
 Trading partner/buying party
 Ship from location identification
 Ship to location identification
 Date of despatch/shipment
 Grower records details related to growing/production (e.g. field, seeds, details of
production inputs)
 Backward & Forward Traceability of Product
