ADDING VALUE

• There is a growing market for mixed packs of pre-prepared vegetables, which attract very high prices.
• Preparation and packing should be done as close to the farms as possible, to maximise the proportion of the end value which returns to the grower.
• Great care should be taken to avoid pollution or environmental damage which may result from downstream processing or packaging activities.
