A story in last Friday's Financial Times (I am catching up with overdue reading) entitled "Export Plan to Transform Indian Farming" (no links to the story b/c the FT requires subscriptions to the site, here's the FT site) includes the fascinating fact that "up to 40 percent of fruit and vegetable production in India goes to waste because" of limited infrastructure for refrigeration and storage. Pretty amazing number - worth considering when reading stories about the virtues of sustainable peasant agriculture.
