A home scale unit is a small-scale processing setup for household-level preparation of value-added products such as pickles, jams, or preserves.
Daily production capacity for a home scale unit typically ranges from 10 to 20 kilograms, varying with the product and equipment.
These units are designed for processing small batches to satisfy household or small market needs.
Home scale units are favored by cottage industries, self-help groups, and micro-entrepreneurs who produce quality goods with minimal capital.
They also facilitate the use of surplus fruits and vegetables, thereby increasing family income.
