Description

Agro-based industries are these processing industries which use large quantities of agricultural raw materials such as rice milling, wheat flower processing, textiles, sugar, tea, jute, coffee, paper, rubber production etc. These agro-based industries provide an excellent nexus in promoting integrated development of agricultural and industry and in transforming a stagnant rural economy into a dynamic economy. Taking into consideration the importance of agro-based industries in the rural economy, a number of researcher have worked on the various aspects of agro-based industries such as impact on income of farmers, wages of agricultural labours and agro-based industrial workers, employment, cropping pattern etc. This book covers every area of business, including market analysis, verifying the availability of various requirements including equipment and raw materials, and anticipating financial needs. In an effort to examine numerous topics related to the Paper, Pulp, Rubber band, and Tea sectors, this book emphasises evaluation of traditional processing units in addition to coffee curing and tea manufacturing. If the relevant technical development and product and market diversification considerations are properly emphasised, it is envisaged that the book will portend a better future for the agro units.
