3. Food & Packaging

The average bangladeshi eats a total of 126 grams of fruits and vegetables daily. This is far below the minimum daily consumption of 400 grams of fruits and vegetables and fruit recommended by FAO and the World Health Organization (WHO). As a consequence there is a real need for fruits and vegetables in Bangladesh.

During the crop season, there are quite enough quantities of food and hundreds of tons are spoiled due to the lack of preservation and effective marketing system. Most Bangladeshi’s cannot afford imported goods.

The project is to build a preservation centre to store fruits and vegetables and develop a hygienic packaging process allowing fresh fruits and vegetables to last longer. The goods available would be fruit and vegetable packaging, fresh fruit juice, fruit in a can, and tomato sauce.
