About This Course

The Fruit Processing & Value Addition programme trains learners to transform raw agricultural produce into safe, packaged, market-ready food products.

Learners gain practical experience processing fruit into juices, jams and preserved goods, while also learning the packaging, branding and business skills needed to sell what they make.

This programme is ideal for learners from farming communities or anyone interested in agribusiness, giving them the tools to add value to local produce and generate income rather than selling raw harvests at lower prices.
