Abstract:
Dates have been cultivated since ancient times. Date palms thrive under the rigorous climate
of sub-tropical desert. Date processing enjoys a high economic importance in the world. Dates
have nutritive values and are consumed in large quantity in all parts of the country. Kachchh
region of Gujarat produces good quality dates and there is a very good scope to set up facility
for processing and packing of dates at a suitable location. Date processing technology has
improved during last few years, which has made it possible to process them hygienically. This
technology has made it possible to produce a marketable product which can easily be
handled, transported, stored and packed in attractive packing before sale.
