The participants were also introduced to processing and preservation techniques, food quality, hygiene and safety, packaging and labelling, branding and product presentation, costing, pricing and profitability, and marketing and sales strategies. Through practical and group activities, the beneficiaries identified potential value-added products from their available agricultural produce and discussed suitable processing, packaging, pricing and marketing approaches. The activity helped the farmers to understand how agricultural produce can be transformed into marketable value-added products, improve the utilization of available resources, reduce post-harvest losses, and enhance their production, marketing opportunities and household income.
