Original manifesto wording
“We shall aim at doubling the income of horticulturists by providing incentives up to Rs 10 lakh to new export oriented FPOs. We shall also build 20 cold storage facilities across Goa.”
Our Assessment
On track, but not fulfilled. This entry tracks the independently measurable commitment to build 20 cold-storage facilities. It is related to, but not a duplicate of, the existing Rs 100 crore cold-storage fund promise. That entry requires establishment of a specific financing mechanism, while this entry requires delivery of 20 physical facilities. The notified Goa State Amritkal Agriculture Policy 2025 provides for cold-storage facilities, cool chambers, reefer vehicles, integrated pack houses and other storage infrastructure. It specifically proposes at least one state-subsidised central cold-storage unit in each of Goa's 12 talukas and promotes public-private partnerships and investor incentives for additional storage infrastructure. The current agriculture scheme framework also provides a 35 percent credit-linked capital subsidy for construction, expansion and modernisation of eligible cold-storage units. These measures constitute concrete policy and enabling action towards the promised expansion. However, the policy's expressly quantified network covers 12 taluka-level units rather than 20, and no approved source found confirms sanction, construction or operation of 20 new post-election cold-storage facilities. Status on_track.
