Detailed Project Report (DPR) on Ice Plant with Pre-Primary Processing Unit (30 MT)
An Ice Plant with a Pre-Primary Processing Unit (30 Metric Ton capacity) is essential for preserving perishable commodities like fish, meat, dairy products, fruits, and vegetables. Such a facility plays a critical role in extending shelf life, maintaining quality, and reducing post-harvest losses, particularly in regions with high agricultural and fishery outputs.
Objectives of the Project
- To ensure the preservation of perishable goods during transportation and storage.
- To create a reliable supply chain for fisheries, dairy, and horticultural products.
- To enhance employment opportunities in the processing and cold-chain sectors.
- To reduce post-harvest losses and improve income for farmers and fishers.
Key Components
- Ice Plant Unit (30 MT Capacity):
- Produces block or flake ice for preserving perishable goods.
- Energy-efficient refrigeration system with automated controls.
- Pre-Primary Processing Unit:
- Cleaning, sorting, grading, and packaging facilities for fresh produce.
- Basic storage and transportation equipment for easy distribution.
- Cold Storage Facility:
- Maintains temperature-sensitive items before further processing or export.
- Water Treatment Plant:
- Provides high-quality water for ice production, adhering to food safety standards.
Estimated Cost (Indicative)
- Land and Building: ₹50–60 lakh
- Machinery and Equipment: ₹1–1.5 crore
- Installation & Commissioning: ₹10–15 lakh
- Working Capital: ₹30–40 lakh
- Total Project Cost: ₹2–3 crore (subject to location and capacity)
Revenue Generation and Benefits
