PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Products, such as tomato paste/puree have potential demand with local fruit/vegetable processors as well as the retail market. Establishment of tomato processing facilities in the country can contribute in reducing the dependence of local industry on imported tomato paste. Tomato paste and puree are commonly consumed commodities in every household. In the field of packaging thermoplastic film has been widely accepted as an efficient flexible packaging material. Co extruded multilayer blown film was introduced a few years back in the field of packaging.

Market Survey
Tomato processing industry is the pioneering sector in food processing industry. Although the dominant traditional processing line is tomato paste processing, peeled and diced tomatoes are the other promising products. Tomato paste processing plants are also suitable to process other fruits and vegetables during off season. Tomato Paste is the main product of processed tomatoes which is used as a raw material to make ketchup, sauces and other tomato related 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.
