| India is blessed with a semi-tropical climate
ideally suited for most annual fruit bearing trees. No wonder,
it is home to Mango the most popular tropical fruit. The natural
habitat coupled with developing irrigation facilities has catapulted
the country into the second largest fruit producer globally.
Only in the recent times has Fruit processing, as an organized
industry, gradually taken shape, with existing processors scaling-up
facilities while the new entrants planning large capacities
to suit the global markets. The emphasis is shifting towards
technology- centric operations as modern plants are being imported
into the country. GMP and high levels of hygiene and sanitation
form the new "mantra" for success. These developments
augur well for the Indian Fruit processing industry, now coming
into its own.
