The training programme will include theory, practicals, demonstration & discussion.

The objective of the training is to provide detailed information about the scope of fruit and vegetable powders, their nutritional quality and packaging. There platform will provide hands-on training on production of moringa, tomato, onion and banana flour and value-add the preparation. This is especially at a time when there is excess production in the market and fall in price of these fruits and vegetables, stated Dr MV Dhananjaya who is the course coordinator along with Dr Venkatt Kumar and others from the BESST-HORT team.
Now BESST-HORT is a technology business incubator of ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticulture. The training will also guide on the licensing requirements and detailed project report preparation, besides provide information on various schemes launched by the government.
