भारत से डिहाइड्रेटेड फलों और सब्जियों का निर्यात

Introduction

Export of dehydrated fruits and vegetables from India is an important opportunity for farmers, FPOs, food processors and rural entrepreneurs. India produces a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, but a large share of fresh produce is seasonal and perishable. When fresh produce is dehydrated scientifically, it becomes lighter, more stable, easier to transport and suitable for longer storage. This makes dehydrated products useful for domestic markets as well as international buyers.

भारत से डिहाइड्रेटेड फलों और सब्जियों का निर्यात किसानों, FPOs, फूड प्रोसेसरों और ग्रामीण उद्यमियों के लिए एक महत्वपूर्ण अवसर है। भारत में फलों और सब्जियों की बड़ी विविधता पैदा होती है, लेकिन ताजा उत्पादन का बड़ा हिस्सा मौसमी और जल्दी खराब होने वाला होता है। जब ताजे उत्पादन को वैज्ञानिक तरीके से डिहाइड्रेट किया जाता है, तो वह हल्का, अधिक स्थिर, परिवहन में आसान और लंबे भंडारण के लिए उपयुक्त बन जाता है। इसलिए डिहाइड्रेटेड उत्पाद घरेलू बाजारों के साथ-साथ अंतरराष्ट्रीय खरीदारों के लिए भी उपयोगी होते हैं।

Meaning of Dehydrated Fruits and Vegetables

Dehydrated fruits and vegetables are products from which moisture is removed through drying methods such as solar drying, hot air drying, tray drying, cabinet drying, freeze drying or other approved technologies. Moisture reduction helps increase shelf life and reduce spoilage. Export of dehydrated fruits and vegetables becomes possible only when the product is clean, properly dried, safely packed and made according to buyer and country-specific requirements.

डिहाइड्रेटेड फल और सब्जियां वे उत्पाद हैं जिनसे solar drying, hot air drying, tray drying, cabinet drying, freeze drying या अन्य approved technologies के माध्यम से नमी हटाई जाती है। नमी कम करने से shelf life बढ़ती है और खराबी कम होती है। डिहाइड्रेटेड फलों और सब्जियों का निर्यात तभी संभव होता है जब product clean, properly dried, safely packed और buyer तथा country-specific requirements के अनुसार तैयार हो।

Why Export Opportunity is Growing

Export of dehydrated fruits and vegetables is growing because global consumers, food companies, hotels, restaurants and ready-to-eat food brands need stable ingredients throughout the year. Dehydrated products are useful in snacks, bakery, instant foods, soups, sauces, spice mixes, breakfast cereals, health foods and institutional kitchens. India has a strong advantage because it has diverse crops, skilled processors, competitive production and many traditional food products that can be converted into export-ready dehydrated products.
