Overview
APP
i.e. Agro Products Processing is defined as the sum total of
all operations involved in the manufacturing and distribution
of farm supplies, production activities on the farm, the
storage, processing and distribution of farm commodities and
items made from them.
 The term agro-industries has acquired new significance in recent years in
the wake of growing need of inter-dependence between
agriculture and industry and the modernization of the farmer.
It has increased agricultural prosperity and agricultural
production, has supported agricultural income, absorbed
surplus labour force in the rural area, and has helped to
solve the problem of unemployment and under-employment in the
agricultural field to an extent and lead to the
decentralization of the process of production and thereby to
the reduction in the distribution of income and wealth.
