Agri-food Processing

Agri-food processing refers to the transformation of raw agricultural products into food items that are ready for consumption or further cooking. This process includes steps like cleaning, cooking, preserving, packaging, and distributing food. For example, turning fresh tomatoes into canned salsa or converting wheat into flour. Agri-food processing enhances the safety, shelf life, and nutritional value of food, while also creating jobs and supporting the economy. It plays a crucial role in ensuring that food is accessible, convenient, and meets the demands of consumers around the world.
