Jam Jelly & Pickles Manufacturing Plant

Northeastern region by virtue of its diverse agro-climatic conditions, varied soil type and abundant rainfall has the promises of becoming an excellent sourcing point for high value horticultural produce and value added products unique to the region for onward marketing both within the country and abroad. There is ample scope for increasing the area under such plantations. Most of the produces go waste during the production due to lack of processing and storage facilities and inadequate infrastructural facilities. There is great potential of processing these products and interactions with food processing units in Northeastern region. By setting up of small scale food processing industries, the result would be doubly beneficial: utilizing available produce thereby avoiding wastage and running a viable unit. Fruits are an important source of energy for human-beings but they are perishable items. Hence since many years various products are made from juice of fruits so that they can be consumed during off season as well. Products like jam, jelly, pickles etc. are made from fruits since long. With the advent of technology and preservatives, shelf life of such products has gone up and they can be preserved for many months with proper packing.
