Preventing food wastage with rare wines

A project that aims at preventing food wastage, provides employment and generates healthy revenues is something all VCs dream of. Making exotic wines from fruits and vegetables that would otherwise end up in trash cans or incinerators, is an excellent idea for start-up. Over 150 billion tons of perfectly edible fruits and vegetables are wasted in India every year. Absence of logistical cold chains- meaning a network of cold storages and refrigerated trucks- is blamed for this colossal waste. Converting these fruits and vegetables into exotic wines will attract VCs. Waste from these wineries also opens the opportunities for creating fiber and fertilizer factories, which are again in great demand.
