The study provides an overall idea about the development of cold chain in the dairy industry as well as the necessity of having cold chain management in the dairy sector. Cold Chain involvement has been a huge contribution to the dairy sector as it has helped the sector to flourish more as well as to unfold to its maximum potential. Cold chain statistics provides the information to know about the present status of cold chain in the nation. Cold chain in the country is still under development and hasn’t been used to its utmost advantages and uses which will be explored in the forthcoming years. The reason or challenges encountered by the cold chain while its practice are the major drawback for the lack of cold chain application in the country which also have been tapped upon in the study. The present scenario of the dairy sector with the application of cold chain helped to minimise the losses of the dairy sector by a huge margin. The application of cold chain in dairy sector is practised in the storage and transportation of milk and its value based products hence government also provides schemes and initiatives for the usage of cold chain supply s it ensures zero wastage, affordable product, accessible product, healthy and nutritious products. The cold chain supply has essential steps of storage and transportation which have been explained in the study through the considerations of the appropriate design of cold storage based upon the product to be stored. There are various types of cold storage which must be taken into consideration while designing of cold storage. The cold chain supply of milk and its value added products varies from product to product and it must be ensured for preservation of quality and its shelf life throughout the cold chain supply by inhibiting the product from microbial attack hence the maintenance of the ambient temperature is absolutely necessary throughout the cold chain which is done by various practices in the dairy sector as mentioned in the study. The study in brief provides with the overview of the cold chain supply in dairy industry along with its challenges, applications, present scenario, statistics and assessment of the dairy sector for milk and its value added products from farm to consumers ensuring that there is no breakage of the cold chain until the product reaches the consumers.

Due to the impact of globalization, the competition between enterprises has become fierce and led the supply chains of many industries to be reorganized. One of the consequences is that the operation of many small and medium enterprises (SMs) had become very difficult. Hence, many of SMEs in Taiwan have gone bankrupt and some of them have moved to other places where they have lower production costs, in order to survive; this not only hollowed out the industries but also disconnected the supply chains in their mother countries. Because Taiwan’s SMEs are generally poor in innovation, this study explored the implementation of the theory of inventive problem-solving (TRIZ) with alignment of new product development (NPD) and supply chain management (SCM) to strengthen the innovation and productivity of new products, so that SMEs can refer to its use to aid sustainable business operation. We considered an SME in Taiwan as a case to study and investigate the strategies that it employed to achieve survival and sustainability. By examining the practical applications of the NPD of the case company, which was based on the TRIZ and NPD SCM alignment, we found that value-added products may be created despite unfavorable industry environments, by implementing and coordinating the TRIZ and three product-related variables, namely innovating, modularity, and variety. This study explored practical alternatives for SMEs to develop various value-added products that meet customers’ changing requirements and succeed in competitive markets to achieve a sustainable business operation. Considering SMEs are crucially important to the economic equality and development of countries and that SMEs may only survive for a short time when operating in changing supply chain environments, this study can be used as a reference for the management of SMEs and future academic research in related fields.

Modern day civilization is dependent on energy generation by fossil fuels. But the major drawback of using fossil fuels is environmental pollution. Microalgae are potential candidate for production of various products of interest, such as proteins, mini food, pigments and triglycerides that can be converted into biofuels. Lignocellulosic feedstocks are the most abundantly available raw material of plants that can serve as a promising feedstock for cultivating bacteria, fungi, yeasts and microalgae to produce biofuels and other value-added products. Owing to the abundant availability of these low/no cost substrates, can be utilized as feedstocks for cultivating microalgae to generate biogas/biodiesel. Likewise, there is much room to exploit defatted algal biomass to be used as animal/fish feed and oil producing/accumulating genes knowledge in future to produce high and good quality biodiesel and biogas.

In this twenty-first century, our country is still incurring significant post-harvest losses. Most of the cold storage facilities are based on conventional energy intensive process with outdated technologies. Improper storage and cold treatment infrastructure reduces the life and deteriorates the quality of perishable products. Supply chain practitioners adopted the green cold chain management practices to overcome numerous challenges associated with developing the cold chain network. Literature review reported that green cold chain management is under-developing phase in India, but these practices have gained huge popularity in the western world. The purpose of the paper is to identify necessary barriers, determine hierarchical and contextual relationships between variables influencing green cold chain practices in India. Here researcher used interpretive structural methodology that uses systematic application of some elementary notions of graph theory approach and Boolean algebra to construct directed graph. Further the dependence and driving power of variables are categorized using MICMAC analysis. The formulation of strategy considers barriers of green cold chain management, i.e.: (1) High capital costs of renewable projects, (2) Outdated technology, (3) Poor cold chain network, (4) Lack of skilled manpower, (5) Poor cold storage Infrastructure, (6) Cold chain sterilization with chemicals, (7) Lack of reverse logistics, (8) Lack of information system infrastructure, (9) Lack of government support, and (10) Non-recyclable packaging. The findings suggest that cold chain infrastructure and government support are key drivers of green cold chain practices.

Food cold chain management (FCCM) is a specialized kind of supply chain supported by the two different technologies first, refrigeration and second information technology. The refrigeration equipments like cold storages and cold storing devices. They can keep the food quality cum safety intact and enhance food items shelf life. The information technology enables the tracking and tracing through data loggers etc. Despite the huge fresh produce availability in India, food inflation and food security issues are major concerns for policy makers. The food wastage in India is close to US$ 8309 million annually (US$ 60.17) due to lack of processing and cold storage facilities. The aim of this paper is to discuss status of food cold storage in India. The chapter is based on extensive review of existing literature, studying novel cold storage status and presenting benefits of cold storage. The outcome of research will be that FCCM can play vital role in supplying quality, safe food products and instrumental in reduction of food wastages.
