Food Technology & Post-Harvest Processing

The Food Technology & Post-Harvest Processing Department focuses on the handling, preservation, processing, storage, packaging, and quality control of agricultural and food products. Students explore methods such as drying, smoking, milling, fermentation, refrigeration, and other food-processing techniques designed to extend shelf life, reduce post-harvest losses, improve food safety, and add value to agricultural produce. The department also introduces food hygiene, quality assurance, product development, and opportunities for establishing food-processing and agro-industrial businesses.
