ORANGE PROCESSING UNIT PROJECT REPORT

Fruits are perishable in nature and for their preservation, they need to be processed to make juices, squashes, jams etc. Fruits are popular amongst all age groups but fresh fruits are available only during specific season and that too for 2-3 months every year. Hence, downstream products made from fresh fruits have become popular especially in urban and semi-urban areas. But off-late demand from rural areas is also going up. Apart from households, they are sold at many places like restaurants, clubs, railway stations and bus-stops, cold drink houses, picnic or tourist spots and many such places. With growing disposable incomes and changing lifestyles, such products have witnessed increase in demand.
