A training programme on Fig Processing was conducted on
4-8-2022 at PHPTC for alleviating postharvest losses in fig for the famers of
Bathinda and Sri Muktsar Sahib. These progressive farmers are practicing fig
cultivation but owing to high perishability of the crop, these famers demanded
training programme for processing of Fig. During training programme farmers
were given hands on training for processing of green fig into fig jam, fig
squash and fig bar. Overall these low cost technologies could help provide value
addition to highly perishable crops with added financial benefits.
