Central air-conditioning and commercial refrigeration major Blue Star has launched an innovative cooling solution for seeds called Precision Climate Seed Storage (PCSS) system.

“The Indian seed industry is estimated to be a Rs. 5,700-crore market with an expected annual growth rate of 15 per cent, well higher than the global average.

“It is imperative to preserve seeds considering that they are a precious resource and have the ability to boost the nation’s economy,” the company’s Channel Business Group’s President, B Thiagarajan, said in a press release.

Blue Star’s PCSS system is a unique, factory-fitted, integrated package that includes all elements essential for a precision temperature and humidity control system, a built-in de-humidification system, high-purity-filters, and a state-of-the-art refrigeration system, all controlled by a central microprocessor to ensure precise control.
