New technologies in food industries

Fruit drying provides livelihood options for people in rural, periurban, and urban areas in Sub-Saharan Africa, including raw material farmers, commodities merchants, food processors, sellers, and exporters. Dried fruits and vegetables are progressively making up a substantial component of Ghana's export offerings. In 1995, the entire value of dried fruits and vegetables exports was $124,678, with fruits accounting for 21% of the total. By 1998, the overall value of dried fruits and veggies exports had climbed to $3,600,600, with fruits accounting for 42% of the total. Despite advancements in innovative food manufacturing techniques and designs, market limits connected to perceived product safety and quality issues jeopardise the potential for long-term income growth.
