Abstract: Agro-processing is now regarded as the sunrise sector of the Indian economy in view of its large potential for growth and likely socio economic impact specifically on employment and income generation. Some estimates suggest that in developed countries, up to 14 per cent of the total work force is engaged in agro-processing sector directly or indirectly. People generally prefer fresh fruits and vegetables in India due to abundance of seasonal fruits throughout the year available at low price. Also there are a lot of opportunities for value addition and employment generation in agribusiness sector
