Lemon and Lime Products Manufacturing Business<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no agro-processing sector in India with such a multi-faceted positive impact as the lemon\/lime sector does now. The demand is genuine, raw material is indigenous and the range of products is quite extensive. It would be difficult for entrepreneurs to find a better entry point in their business ideas in food processing or agro-chemicals. The lemon and lime industry can be divided into several high-value verticals, which are different and each have their own market dynamics and margin structures, ranging from packaged lemon juices and citric acid to lemon essential oils and natural cleaners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India is also one of the largest producers of lemons and limes, which grow in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Rajasthan. However, value addition at the manufacturing level is still very low. The majority of the lemons produced in India are sold fresh. A fraction is processed. This is where the business opportunity resides \u2014 and where savvy entrepreneurs are starting to move in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
