PROCESSED VEGETABLE & FRUIT
[EIRI/EDPR/4299] J.C.: 2480XL
INTRODUCTION
Seasonal vegetables are part and parcel of household diet across India and fruits consumption is also picking up due to increasing income and health consciousness. Therefore, demand for fruits and vegetables are prevalent across length and breadth of the country throughout the year. However, due to specific climatic requirements availability/supply of most of these crops is seasonal. Price fluctuations between on and off season further makes it more complicated for both producers and consumers as producers get extremely low price during production season and consumers pay accessibly high price during off season. Therefore, preservation through dehydration technique can play an important role in bringing the demand and supply gap narrower and make win-win situation for both producers and consumers.
India is the world’s second-largest producer of fruits and vegetables. To reduce wastage of fresh fruits and vegetables, and to add value to them, processes like canning, dehydration, pickling, provisional preservation and bottling have been introduced. However, percentage of processing of fruits and vegetables is currently less than 3% as compared to countries like China (23%), the United States (65%) and Philippines (78%).
The Indian fruit and vegetable processing industry experiences conducive growth environment, wing to the abundant supply of raw materials and favourable government policies like Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana (PMKSY). Rising consumer affordability and rapid urbanization resulted in lifestyle changes, following which the preference for processed fruits and vegetables increased substantially.
