Details
This project develops a mobile factory unit for processing tropical fruits and waste in Chachoengsao under the BCG model. It aims to solve surplus fruit issues, extend shelf life through freezing, and add value to local produce.
The project aims to sustainably address the issues of fruit surplus, low-grade produce, and falling prices by processing fresh fruit into new products, such as frozen Nam Dok Mai mangoes and vinegar from mango waste. This process extends the shelf life from 8-10 days for fresh fruit to approximately 2 years for frozen products.
- Innovation: Mobile factory unit equipped with machinery under the BCG concept.
- Target: SMEs within the Chachoengsao network and the EEC economic zone.
- Impact: Increases farmer income, adds value to agricultural products, and enhances the skills of laborers and students.
