Detailed list of plant & machinery / others utensils is as follows:
Potato grading line/vegetable grading, washing, waxing line,
minimal processing equipments, utensils, knives set, working
table, washing tanks, packing machine, Plastic barrels, Plastic
crates (200 nos.), water storage facilities.
Abundant quantity of Mango, amla, papaya, guava & all
vegetables/ spices available in the district as well as in
surrounding area throughout the year.
The promoter also itself engaged in production of
fruits/vegetables as well as having good contacts with the
progressive farmers of their area. The beneficiary has already its
own raw materials for sorting, grading, washing & minimal
processing as per the demand of market. Moreover number of
other farmers willing to provide their raw materials for same
purpose.
Due to the shortage of availability of primary produce as sorted,
graded, washed & minimal processing for ultimate use of tertiary
/ final processing unit for converting these produce to final
finished products to be sale in local/domestic/export market. The
processors have to go faraway places for procuring desired
quantity to other states/places at higher rates of semi-finished
produce. Thus there is ample of potential for more low
preservation units in that area.
Approx. 100 farmers to be benefitted.
Strength :
There is a abundant availability of raw materials such as
guava, mango, amla, papaya, vegetables, ornamental
plants & spices in proposed area of district.
The functional infrastructure unit is situated in
fruits/vegetable growing belt and having good network of
growers.
Vast domestic market.
Weakness :
Low availability of adequate infrastructural facilities.
Lack of adequate quality control & testing methods.
Inefficient supply chain due to a large number of
intermediaries.
High requirement of working capital.
Seasonality of raw material.

Working Capital Requirement: Working capital is a pre-requisite
for the success of any project. However, in view of very small
scale of activities and typical nature of customers, the bank would
hesitate to provide post sales facilities. Hence, it is assumed that
the promoter will arrange their own fund resources as unsecured
loans from relatives / friends or bank if agree of Rs.1,00,000/-.
Raw Material: The all-important raw materials shall be sound,
uniform texture, and unripe but fully grown bigger sized. Other
