Value added products are raw agricultural products that have been modified or enhanced to have a higher market value and/or a longer shelf life. Some common vegetable value-added products include dehydrated potato, peas, carrot, cauliflower, and tomato-based processed products like salsa, pickles, and chutney. Value addition is important as it helps reduce post-harvest losses, benefits farmers and consumers, increases food availability and export trade, and creates more employment opportunities. Common methods of adding value to vegetables include processing, packaging, dehydrating, freezing, and waxing.
