While thanking, CII for the Cold Chain Award 2020, Director of FIL Industries, Owais Altaf Syed, in a statement, expressed gratitude towards Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) on behalf of FIL Industries.

He added that CII’s consistent advisory and consultative processes have helped FIL Industries to improvise and emerge as one of the major players in this category in the region.

“FIL has been working closely with the Indian farmers for over 3 decades. It is actively involved in providing product and services for pre and post harvest management together with offering value addition to the farmers produce through its ware-house and processing units,” the statement said.

It said FIL has been the “pioneer in bringing the Controlled Atmosphere (CA) Storage facility in Jammu & Kashmir”.

“The Company has 8000 MT of integrated storage facilities with a state of art packing and grading line. The facility is available to the orchardists in the state to store, grade and pack their produce. The facility offers an end-to-end solution to the farmer for collection and delivery of their produce, thus minimizing their post-harvest losses,” it added.
