The company is assigning you as customers, Members or VF Partners for that process company can asked you only about your name, deliverable address, contact numbers. We promise to you, your information never is share to anyone outside from our company. We are bringing any kind or other property related doc or information.

  1. Nature of the business: Online Platform.
  2. Capacity of production: Just we directly buy from farmers and local mandi’s then sale to the end users.
  3. Area of operation: Recently we are serving only in Chhattisgarh (Raipur/ Bilaspur/ Bhilai).
  4. The scale of operations: Small Scale of the Food related business in hope might be upgrade in future.
With the introduction of the VF, several smaller and narrower laws were replaced to bring in this all-encompassing Act. We bid farewell to the following Indian laws:
  1. Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954
  2. Fruit Products Order, 1955,
  3. Meat Food Products Order, 1973,
  4. Vegetable Oil Products (Control) Order, 1947,
  5. Edible Oils Packing (Regulation) Order 1988
  6. Solvent Extracted Oil, De-Oiled Meal and Edible Flour (Control) Order, 1967
  7. Milk and Milk Products Order, 1992 etc. will be repealed after commencement of FSS Act, 2006.
The FSSAI Act planned on establishing a network that helps all consumers, panchayats, local authorities, etc. to dispense speedy and reliable information about food safety across the country, while also creating a single authority and point of contact for all matters relating to food safety and standards. According to the new regulations of FSSAI, food businesses are not allowed to use or modify words like fresh, natural, pure, authentic, genuine, traditional or real on their food labels or packing unless the products are not processed, or only peeled, chilled, washed, or trimmed. The FSSAI license number is a 14-digit number that must be printed on all the food packing by a business that is registered under the FSSAI. A business that fails to print its FSSAI number on packages may face heavy penalties. We serve or business only regular daily plants products like vegetables, fruits, flowers and dry fruits. That’s why the 14-digit barcode numbers cannot be applicable for that (VegFarms Corporation) business but it shall be change in future as per govt. terms and conditions.



Simpler rules that the FSSAI have made mandatory to follow are:

  1. FSSAI logo with its license if applicable.
  2. Vegetarian Mark.
  3. Hall Mark if applicable.
  4. Ingredients in the product being made.
  5. Nutritional value in percentage.
  6. Manufacture, production and expiration dates have to be mentioned on the product.
VegFarms Corporation uses only local packaging methods like Jhola, Thaila, or Cloth LOGO name and address printed recyclable carry bags. If the customers belongs from any Catering, Hotel, Restaurant they must have to produce or show business prove to the VegFarms Corporations.

What constitutes an eating house?

The VegFarms Corporation is not delivering or serving any kind of direct or indirect alcoholic products. So be sure by taking or receive veggie products have delivered to you.

What are some of the documents needed for the application process?
(Only for VF-Partners/ Investors/ Franchisee)

We have mentioned a list of documents that applicants should keep handily before they begin the application process for their licenses. Proof of identification such as PAN Card details, Passport, Voter ID, Aadhar Cards, drivers’ license and so on…

  1. Proof of residence such as Passport, Voter ID, Government bank account etc
  2. Proof of ownership or lease documents if the land is being rented
  3. Self-attested no objection certificate (NOC) from the owner of the premise, if it is being rented out for an eatery.
  4. Memorandum of Association of the eating house and LLP.
  5. Complete list of Director or Partner Names

Photograph of the Partners or Franchisee in allocated space.

These are all the major documents that could be needed. If some of the documents have been submitted under one category, they cannot be used certain. For instance, if a passport has been used as an identification proof, it cannot be used for an address proof as well and would have to be substituted with something else. One of the documents considered as one of those means one for address or id proves

What would the rest of the steps to make the license a possibility be?

Post submitting all the details and documents needed, applicants would have to pay their fees. After the fees of approximately Rs. 1220.00 INR have been paid, if there have been errors on the forms, or the information has been misrepresented, the amount paid would be forfeited.

The process does take anywhere between 30 to 45 days. After submitting all the information, this has to be actively followed upon. The validity of an eating house license does vary based on multiple factors like the type of establishment being run, for instance, food trucks would have shorter expiration dates for their licenses as compared to restaurants. Usually, however, the default for most venues is three years.

While approaching the expiration date of the license, the establishment would need someone to work on the process of renewing it. Unlike most other Government documents, the eating house license, restaurant, hotels, etc. does not have a renewal form. It would have to be done like the process of applying for the license from the get-go. This does take time so it would be better to begin a little better the actual expiration of the license.

Price and Payment

The price for the Veggies shall be the price set out in the Company’s published price list current at the date of delivery. The price for the Veggies is exclusive of any value added tax or any other applicable tax which the Buyer shall pay in addition when it is due to pay for the Veggies.

CHAPTER 1

Introduction

The first part of the report provides an outline of the main policy perspectives surrounding the use of air freight in food supply chains. The methodologies that have been used to consider the environmental impacts associated with the food/(Vegetables, Fruits, Flowers & Dry Fruits) supply chain are outlined, focusing particularly on the approaches used to investigate fresh produce production and transport. A literature review of farm to fork studies forms the central part of the report, followed by an analysis of the energy consumers expend in their purchase and consumption related activities of fresh produce. The later part of the report investigates some of the policy options that may be used to reduce carbon emissions in the fresh fruit and vegetable supply chain. The report concludes with a summary of key conclusions and recommendations in India.

CHAPTER 2

Policy Issues

The food and (Vegetables, Fruits, Flowers & Dry Fruits) The issue of food miles and air miles has lead to increase in demand for labeling of food to show its impact on greenhouse gas emissions. This labeling in particular has led to commitments from some to carbon footprint their products and labels their food accordingly. The INDIA has taken the lead in carbon labeling and carbon ratings

Therefore, removing the certification of air freighted produce from these countries may be contrary to the Social Association’s second principle of social justice. Other issues which have arisen that are unrelated to this issue are the increase in the debate around seasonal consumption and consuming locally produced foods. Studies in the India show that locally grown food labels greatly influence consumers. Given a choice, consumers are more likely to purchase locally grown over organic foods produced in a distant region, even if the local foods were produced using some pesticides (Leopold Center for Sustainable)

CHAPTER 3

Methodologies

VegFarms Corporation, Buy the (Vegetables, Fruits, Flowers & Dry Fruits) direct from the Farmer and Local Mandi and supply the (Vegetables, Fruits, Flowers & Dry Fruits) to the end consumers in India Using local Vehicles.

CHAPTER 4

Topology

Trade in Fresh Fruit and Vegetables this section reviews the trends in trade of fresh fruit and vegetables. It is estimated that over 73 million tones of fruit and vegetables per annum are traded globally with a value of circa vegetable trade has grown significantly. In the case of fruit, trade has grown by 43 per cent and vegetables by 37 per cent over this period. For 2003, international trade in fresh fruit accounted. Non-traditional tropical fruits have been one of the fastest growing areas with the growth of fruit such asmangoes, pineapples and papayas doubling in.

The growth in trade since the early 1980s and also splitting trade into fresh and product categories. The strong growth in fresh fruit and vegetable exports is clearly shown in this graph, highlighting the more than doubling of exports for the 20 year.

CHAPTER 5

Literature Review

There is a range of literature relevant to energy and emissions associated with the production, trade and consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables. This chapter reviews a variety of material concerned with fresh fruit and vegetable production, consumption, transport and trade. The first part of the chapter focuses on several reports that consider greenhouse gas emissions at an aggregate level, either for the country level. These reports provide an indication of the greenhouse gases associated with the food sector and specifically from fruit and vegetables.

This section also reviews literature focusing on the supply of fresh produce from developing countries, highlighting the role fruit and vegetable production plays in India. The second part of this chapter reviews studies that focus on a specific product, covering various stages of the supply chain. This part of the chapter begins with several studies which investigate the transport related emissions or energy associated with fruit and vegetable supply chains (Vegetables, Fruits, and Flowers & Dry Fruits) and then reviews the more comprehensive studies that incorporate wider elements of the supply chain including production.

CHAPTER 6

Policy Options

The selective ban option suggested would need to be implemented very carefully to help minimize the potential criticisms of unfairness or the favoring of particular parties. The Soil Association has identified the difficulties for an organic (Vegetables, Fruits, Flowers & Dry Fruits) certification body in making decisions that have significant Veggies and social ramifications. Moreover, it does not address the issues above that air freight may not be most significant contributor to the emissions identified. The labeling of products transported by local distributors may be seen as a broad brush approach that in some instances may mislead consumers into believing that a particular product is more. The company is not growing and planting any (Vegetables, Fruits, Flowers & Dry Fruits) in any where VF just a platform to sale the (Vegetables, Fruits, Flowers & Dry Fruits) online. Buyer can make a order online.

We just door to door deliver Vegetables, Fruits, and Flowers & Dry Fruits. This might be organic and in-organic products even seasonal products. We do not test or check any poisonous or not, hygienic or non-hygienic buyer and consumers can buy and eat at own risk.

CHAPTER 7

Conclusion and Recommendations

The above review does highlight growing concern with climate change and the carbon footprint associated with food production. This has implications for market access for exporting countries especially those that are a long distance from the market or which rely on air freight in every where every people go to the market for vegetables. It is burning lots of carbon mono oxides why they should not recommend to the online distributors like www.vegfarms.in.

In general it is very difficult to obtain information from existing studies that enable comparisons to be made between the energy and emissions for all components of the supply chain of Vegetables, Fruits, and Flowers & Dry Fruits. Many studies focus just on transport and thus do not consider the full energy and emissions associated with the production and processing of the product. Of the studies concentrating on transport it is clear product transported by air has the highest emission profile. However, when the whole supply of a product to a market is considered the emissions associated with air transport tend to be low. Moreover, the energy and emissions associated with air freight are sometimes comparable to the emissions from internal transport within the importing country.

Most of the studies assume that the importing country could supply the market and replace imports. For many products this is unlikely to be the case and they certainly could not do this without some intensification of their production thereby raising energy and emissions intensity. For example, in the case of air freighted products the alternative source of production may be using heated greenhouses, which may not be more energy and emissions efficient.

It is important to consider the position of producers in the production and transport of fresh fruit and vegetables. For example, for some African producers, their geographic location and lack of other transport infrastructure necessitate the air freighting their production. Similarly, fresh produce exporters who may normally sea freight their production may from time to time be obliged to air freight limited quantities of their product in order to maintain the supply to the market. This situation has interesting ramifications in terms of labeling. Should all of these producers’ products be labeled as air freighted or just the air freighted element.

In recommendation there is a real need for clarity of information over the issue of food and air miles to the general public, and industry among other stakeholders. At present the debate, especially in the media, has centered on air miles or the distance food travels for (Vegetables, Fruits, and Flowers & Dry Fruits) rather than placing this in the context of the full food supply chain encompassing production and distribution. There is a need for encoring research which incorporates all elements of a full life cycle analysis and which are transparent and comparable across countries and products.

In discussions about the issue of air miles it is important that the full range of purchases of consumers is considered and that the air freight component is seen in context of total purchases and their associated emissions. Furthermore, in evaluating the impact of production and transport on emissions, the carbon footprint of the country of origin could be considered.

It is certainly not clear that labeling of food which is air freighted would reduce emissions overall and therefore be the favored option. Finally, all the studies assume that alternative sources of supply could be found closer to the market. VF expand their production of Vegetables, Fruits, and Flowers & Dry Fruits is very limited and certainly not without intensification in this or other sectors.
