Agro-processing can create value for farmers, consumers, and the economy by enhancing the attributes and functions of agricultural products. Benefits include extending the shelf life of perishable products, such as fruits and vegetables, improving the quality and safety of products, diversifying the product range and adding value to by-products, and generating employment and income. Extending shelf life can reduce post-harvest losses and wastage, increasing food security and availability. Improving quality and safety can increase consumer satisfaction and demand, meeting standards and regulations of domestic and international markets. Diversifying product range can increase income opportunities for farmers and processors, offering more choices for consumers. Generating employment and income can stimulate economic growth, reducing poverty and inequality.
