2001The project FAO/UNDP MYA/99/007 organized for community training during Oct, 2001, on (1) Tomato and banana processing (2) Potato, onion, garlic and ginger processing (3) Tea leaf processing and (4) Orange, lemon processing. The aim was to give income-generating options to participating rural communities. Many of the community members are taking up the activities in micro-enterprises in their own area. Some have been unable to take up enterprises due to lack of raw materials in their local areas.
This resource book is being produced as an aid to the community members who want to take up value added food processing activities in Shan State and other parts of Myanmar.
The resource book is an output from the training and it is hoped that many more community members will benefit from this booklet.
