Value Addition in Mango Fruit farming

Adding value to mango fruits opens up diverse opportunities and enhances their market appeal. Mangoes can be transformed into an array of products, contributing to economic growth and meeting consumer demands.

 

One popular method of value addition is mango processing to create products such as mango puree, juice, jams, and chutneys. These processed items have an extended shelf life, allowing for storage and distribution beyond the fruit's seasonal availability.

 

Dried mango slices, mango candies, and mango fruit leather are other innovative products that cater to different consumer preferences. These snacks are not only convenient but also capitalize on the natural sweetness of mangoes.

 

Mangoes can also be used in the production of beverages like mango-flavored yogurt drinks or beverages, diversifying the market for both local and international consumers.

 

Furthermore, creating mango-based skincare products, such as mango-infused lotions and soaps, taps into the fruit's beneficial properties for the skin, capitalizing on its vitamins and antioxidants.

 

By adding value to mangoes, farmers can reduce post-harvest losses, create employment opportunities, and contribute to the overall development of the agro-processing industry. This multifaceted approach to value addition ensures that every part of the mango contributes to economic growth and sustainability.
