Summary

India incurs a significant amount of food loss due to broken and improper cold chain setup for post-harvest handling of fish. Surimi, a fish paste product made from various kinds of fish, is an important export item that requires a cold chain for transportation, storage and processing. The inbound operations in the Indian surimi supply chain are fragmented; the overall process lacks vertical integration and has many stages. A large-scale investment in refrigeration may provide a solution. However, an efficient supply chain can also provide effectual improvements with lower costs and lower energy consumption. High investment costs and age-old infrastructures prohibit complete facelift of the existing cold chain setup in fish handling. This paper aims to improve the current cold chain without focusing on refrigeration and seeks to refine the existing practices and supply chain configurations, followed by the identification and optimization of critical points in the existing supply chain.
