Chikkaballapur Launches Integrated Agricultural Processing and Cold Storage Centre to Boost Tomato and Vegetable Growers
The agriculture department inaugurated a state‑of‑the‑art processing unit in Chikkaballapur, enabling farmers to grade and pack their produce directly and store it in a modern cold‑storage facility.
The agriculture department opened a new integrated agricultural processing and cold storage centre in Chikkaballapur district, a move aimed at supporting the region's tomato and vegetable growers.
The facility, equipped with advanced technology, allows farmers to grade and pack their produce on site, ensuring that quality standards are met before the goods reach the market.
In addition to grading and packing, the centre houses a cold‑storage unit that helps preserve the freshness of perishable produce, reducing post‑harvest losses and extending shelf life.
By providing farmers with direct access to processing and storage facilities, the department hopes to improve market access, increase farmers' incomes and strengthen the local agri‑value chain.
