Abstract |
|
The agri-food industry faces significant challenges in optimizing storage and distribution processes, especially concerning perishable produce. This research paper explores the integration of cold storage automation within farmer-merchant systems to enhance operational efficiency and promote sustainability. The study investigates the current landscape of cold storage facilities and the prevalent challenges faced by farmers and merchants in storing and distributing perishable goods. It analyzes the potential benefits and challenges associated with implementing automated systems in cold storage facilities, focusing on the impact on quality maintenance, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Utilizing a mixed-method approach, this research combines qualitative interviews with stakeholders, including farmers, merchants, and technology experts, with quantitative analysis of the operational and financial implications of integrating automation. It examines case studies of successful implementations, identifying best practices and key factors influencing successful integration. |
