Whether warehouse centred intervention at farmer level be a viable proposition as an enterprise?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, warehouse centred intervention at farmer level can be a viable proposition as an enterprise.

Warehouse centred intervention can help farmers in various ways such as providing storage facilities for their produce, reducing post-harvest losses, and ensuring better market access.
It can enable farmers to store their crops during times of oversupply and sell them at a later date when prices are more favorable.
By aggregating produce from multiple farmers, warehouses can also help in achieving economies of scale and negotiating better prices with buyers.
Warehouse receipts can be used as collateral for obtaining loans, providing financial security to farmers.
Examples of successful warehouse centred interventions include the Warehouse Receipt System in India and the Grain Bank program in Malawi.
