Agricultural Produce – Perishable Products Logistics Training & Certification

Comprehensive Training Program for Handling, Storing, and Transporting Perishables

Pertecnica Engineering presents a full-fledged Training & Certification Program on Logistics of Perishable Agricultural Products, designed for those involved in agriculture, supply chain, retail, cold chain logistics, food exports, and rural cooperatives.

This course covers the end-to-end movement of perishable produce such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, dairy, eggs, and meat — from farm-gate to consumer or export destination — ensuring minimum wastage, proper documentation, and quality preservation.

Why This Program Matters

  • Post-harvest losses in perishables exceed ₹90,000 crore annually in India.

  • Only a fraction of perishables move through temperature-controlled supply chains.

This course empowers participants with industry practices, technical know-how, and practical tools to handle perishables at every logistics stage.
