Abstract:
Tripura’s favourable agro-climatic conditions offer
immense scope for development of horticulture sector comprising of
fruits, vegetables, spices, plantation crops etc beside agricultural
crops, and has the immense potential for employment generation
through agro based industries. But the surplus produce often get
spoiled and is wasted due to lack of transportation, insufficient well
equipped cold storage facilities, lack of market access, poor post
harvest technology and processing of farm produce. The state and
central governments have taken various schemes and policies for the
development of the sector in the state. Keeping these things in mind,
the present study has been conducted to find out the scope for agro processing industry in the state.
