Double earning through Food Processing: It is often seen that farmers are not able to get the right price for the crop in the mandis, due to which the farmers have to sell their produce at a low price. The main objective of farming is not only to get good production, but also to earn profit by compensating for the expenses incurred in farming. In such a situation when selling the crop does not work, then the farmers should adopt the path of food processing. Due to this, processed products are easily sold at twice the price as compared to the crop. Food processing is being promoted across the country. Especially the central government has also started 'One District One Product' scheme for this, under which state governments are giving 50 percent grant for setting up food processing units.

How to do Food Processing

Food processing refers to the transformation of any raw grain, fruit, flower or vegetable into a delicious food or flavorful product through techniques and skills. In this, first of all the produce of any crop is cleaned and packaging is also done by turning it into food items under the processing process.

Food processing includes processing of honey and making products from it, biscuits from coarse grains, chips-papads from potatoes, chutneys from tomatoes, jams from fruits, cheese from milk, ghee, buttermilk and butter, soya products from soybeans and lemon or mango. There are many wonderful things involved like making pickles. Most of these work is done by the domestic women without any cost. In such a situation, the Rajasthan government is giving financial grants to the farmers for setting up processing units or setting up an entire industry, which is a commendable work.
