The Andhra Pradesh Agriculture Minister will officially open a new post‑harvest technology centre worth Rs 6.10 crore, aimed at boosting processing and storage of farm produce.
The state’s Agriculture Minister is scheduled to inaugurate a post‑harvest technology centre that has been built at a cost of Rs 6.10 crore. The facility is intended to provide farmers with modern equipment for cleaning, grading, packaging and storage, thereby reducing post‑harvest losses.
The centre forms part of Andhra Pradesh’s broader strategy to strengthen the agri‑value chain and improve market access for small and marginal growers. Officials say the infrastructure will support research and training on best practices in post‑harvest handling.
While the exact location of the centre has not been disclosed, the inauguration is expected to draw attention from agribusiness stakeholders and may serve as a model for similar projects in other districts.
State authorities hope that the new hub will enhance the profitability of agricultural produce and contribute to the overall growth of the state’s rural economy.
