Post-Harvest Loss Solution Blueprint
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
I have an early-stage idea for reducing post-harvest losses in our country and need an engineer to help me shape it into a workable plan. My main priority is Storage solutions that keep fresh produce safe and market-ready, but the concept must also work seamlessly with Road transport and tackle the typical In-transit conditions—heat, vibration, and humidity—that often spoil cargo on the way.
Here is what I need from you:
• A concise, low-cost blueprint for a storage system that can be deployed at the farm gate or loaded onto small trucks.
• Recommendations on readily available materials, basic temperature- or humidity-control methods, and any simple monitoring sensors that fit a rural context.
• A step-by-step outline for a proof-of-concept build I can create locally, including dimensions, assembly notes, and an estimated bill of materials.
• Brief guidance on testing the unit during real road runs so we can gather data on temperature swings, airflow, and produce quality.
Keep the design straightforward and cost-sensitive so farmers and small transporters can adopt it quickly. If you have experience with cold-chain basics, insulated containers, passive cooling, or low-tech IoT monitoring, that’s a plus.
I’m looking for an engineer who can deliver clear drawings, parts lists, and practical advice—nothing overly polished yet, just a solid starting point I can prototype and iterate.
