Marketing channel for processed tomato products
The demand for tomato processing usually arises from a need to preserve the product for cooking purposes (inclusion in stews, soups, curries etc) out of season or to add value for extra income. Traditionally, the most important methods used are concentration (to a paste or purée) and drying either fruit pieces or to a powder.These remain the most suitable processes for many people to use and form the bulk of this brief.
