The agriculturists will not only have to produce but also store their produce in a way that it is protected from rain, heat and rodents. The financial institutions have realised the need for having cold storages and they have special schemes offered to the farmers to finance their own storages. It is also difficult for the farmers to pay rent to others storage so that they can keep their produce.
