Processing of Fruits.
Processing of fruits is of recent origin and is still in its infancy in the district. The Shendurjana Rasotpadak Sahakari Society is the only industrial undertaking doing the processing. It had in 1961 a share capital of Rs. 20,000. The State Government supplied working capital amounting to Rs. 50,000 in 1960. Besides, a juice extracting machine was given to the society through the Industries Office at Nagpur and the services of the Government Fruit Preservation Officer were also loaned to the society.
The society has at present equipment for fruit-juice making only. In I96I-62 it extracted juice valued at Rs. 23,885. Considering, however, the large production of citrus fruits, bananas etc. fruit-juice making and canning have ample scope.
