Prospects Of Agro Processing Industry

Agro-processing industrialisation has received a boost in respect of commercialisation of agriculture. The future prospects of value-added agriculture depends entirely on emerging sectors like agro-processing. This book in attempting to study various issues involved in agro-processing in specific agro-climates like the coastal Dakshina Kannada district and the hilly Kodagu district of Karnataka, highlights evaluation of traditional processing units besides considering fish processing, coffee curing, tea manufacturing, honey processing, fruit processing and other emerging subsectors. It is hoped that the book would spell a brighter prospect for the agro units provided appropriate technology development and product and market diversification factors are duly emphasised. Contents Chapter 1: Agro-Processing Industries; Chapter 2: Agro-Processing Units in D K; Chapter 3: Agro-Processing in Kodagu District; Chapter 4: Fish Processing Units in D K; Chapter 5: Cashew Apple Processing.
