Fruit and vegetable processing is one of the core segments of food processing. Fruits are highly perishable in nature and seasonal in production. In India as well as in West Bengal different varieties of fruits are produced in different agro-climatic zones. But in spite of huge surplus of fresh fruits over consumption only a small portion of the fruits are preserved and processed. Government has considered fruit processing as a promising industry sector and various schemes have been adopted for its development. Thus there are immense scopes for investment in fruit processing sector and development of rural livelihoods. In this book, besides providing an overview of fruit processing sector in India, the author has made an attempt to investigate into the financial performance of the existing fruit processing units of West Bengal to understand the portability and financial viability of selected fruit processing units, considering varied sizes and ownership patters, of West Bengal. Impact of different financial and non-financial factors on financial performance of the selected units has also been explored. This book will be of an immense help to the investors and financial institutions for taking investment decision in fruit processing sector and policy makers for formulating appropriate policies for development of fruit processing industry. This book is also expected to be useful to the academicians and researchers to get appropriate information in the domain of fruit processing industry and to explore new areas of research.
