A controlled atmosphere is a technology based agricultural storage method in which the concentrations of oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen, as well as the temperature and humidity of a storage room are regulated. Both dry commodities and fresh fruit and vegetables can be stored in controlled atmospheres.

BAPL is the pioneer and the first entrants in the controlled atmosphere cold storage in the Central India with a state of the art facility. The project started in the year 2015 and it is currently one of the most complete and technologically superior multiple chamber storage facility.

BAPL has started its operations on the path of storing and trading of high value perishable fruits - Apples & Pomegranates, but down the line we realized that the real potential lies in the storage of other fruits and vegetables grown within the state of Madhya Pradesh because they are the most traded and consumed.

BAPL is taking the initiative for storage of vegetables for the first time in Central India in controlled atmosphere conditions and would come out with exceptional results. We have done research for successful storage of apples, pomegranate, guava, onions, tomatoes carrots, mango, peas, lemons, tomatoes etc. We are improving techniques for post-harvest handling and storage in controlled atmosphere conditions to prolong the freshness of the product.

Most of these products are very difficult to store in conventional and ordinary storage systems because of which it creates shortage and price rise in off-season, but with BAPL even this problem is eliminated.

India is amongst the top 2 producers of fruits and vegetables and is only behind China. But nearly 50% of the harvested crops are thrown away in the landfills due to spoilage. There are multiple reasons for the spoilage-mainly the farming practices, poor harvesting and post-harvest management techniques but a good chunk of wastage is due to the poor storage conditions and lack of knowledge amongst farmers. Especially in Madhya Pradesh, where farmers grow crops of Fruits & Vegetables like; (detailed sourced of district wise production with potential is listed in Annexure –I)

* Orange
* Mango
* Guava
* Banana
* Pomegranate
* Onion
* Tomato
* Peas
* Garlic
* Chili
* Coriander
Madhya Pradesh, who is the top producer of tomatoes, onions and garlic has started coming up with ways to support the entrepreneurs in food processing and cold chain sector.

The purpose of this plan is to secure procurement funding from an investor on profit sharing basis for the maximum capacity utilization.

• * There is huge potential in this sector as over 10 lac MT of raw material available in the state and with good highway connectivity, the finished products can be easily supplied to nearby states like Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Chattisgarh, Maharashtra and MP itself
• * Our values are critical to our success – strong foundation.
• * Excellent product and service to maintain repetitive sales and customer loyalty.
• * Proven management ability to successfully run the business.
• * Our commitment to continuous improvement and quality produce.
• * Integrity. We treat one another, and all our stakeholders with dignity and respect.

• * 3250 MT CA Cold Storage
• * 12 stacking Chambers with a capacity of 272 MT each. (4 lakh square feet of storage capacity).
• * (13.8 X 8.2 X 8.2 meters) = 928 cubic meters 272 X 12 = 3264 MT Total Storage Capacity Land Area = 8470 square meters
• * Temperature 0 to (+or-) 1.5 Degree Celsius.
• * Relative Humidity 90 to 95%
• * Oxygen (O2) Carbon dioxide (CO2) desired level.
• * 132 KV Transformer and DG Set backup.
• * Fully automated sorting grading line.
• * Storage wooden bins with 300 kgs capacity.
• * 2 large refrigerated container trucks with 44 MT storage
