Value Addition :
Value addition is one of important components of nutritional security. Sometimes surplus production is the cause of lower price of produce in market. The way to solve the problem is crop diversification which is responsible for a viable market system, creates opportunity to earn more as well as strong step toward nutritional security.
The most important problem facing the country today perhaps is providing remunerative price to the farmers for their produce without incurring additional burden of subsidy through minimum support price or some such measures. Value addition is a process in which the same volume of a primary product, a high price is realized by means of processing, packing, upgrading the quality or other such methods.
