Overview
Packaging protects produce from farm to market: jute and PP woven sacks for grains, pulses and sugar; mesh bags for onion and potato; plastic crates and corrugated boxes for fruits and vegetables; aseptic packs for pulp.
How It Works in Practice
Onion and potato travel in leno mesh bags that let air through; fruits in plastic crates, corrugated boxes or wooden boxes; grains in jute or PP woven sacks; and exports in cartons, bulk bags and containers.
Rules and Support
Jute packaging is mandatory for a share of foodgrains and sugar under the Jute Packaging Materials Act.
What It Means for Farmers and Traders
Better packaging reduces bruising and losses, and is increasingly required by modern retail and export buyers. Printed, branded packs help FPOs and small brands command higher prices.
