the turning of primary agricultural products into other commodities for market.
Agroprocessing means processing/changing/developing products in the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries areas of industry.
Agroprocessing refers to the transformation of raw agricultural products into finished goods. An example is the production of tomato sauce from fresh tomatoes, which involves washing, chopping, cooking, and packaging the tomatoes into a shelf-stable product. This process adds value to the raw ingredients and extends their usability for consumers.
Agroprocessing can be categorized into several types, including primary, secondary, and tertiary processing. Primary processing involves the initial transformation of raw agricultural products, such as cleaning and packaging. Secondary processing includes manufacturing products like canned goods, juices, and baked items from these raw materials. Tertiary processing focuses on value-added services, including branding, marketing, and distribution, enhancing the final product's appeal and marketability.
Agroprocessing means turning primary agricultural products into other commodities for market. There's no space after "agro": it's a prefix, another form of the "agri-" in "agriculture" (from Latin ager "field").
