Eluru: As many as 42 cold storage plants would be established to the tune of Rs 2.50 Crore in 42 Mini Rythu Bazaars in West Godavari, to facilitate the vegetable farmers to preserve their produce till they get the support price said West Godavari district Collector K Bhaskar.
Reviewing the progress of various sectors at a meeting held in Collectorate here on Wednesday, he said the cold storage units would work with the solar system and can store up to five tonnes of vegetables.
