In fact mango fruit is being processed to prepare variety of products, such as drinks, desserts, squashes, syrups, jams, jellies and mango leather In Chittoor District small scale canning units and medium scale aseptic packing units are being operated by both pre–contract system of processing and owned processing. Medium scale canning units and small scale aseptic packing units are being operated by owned processing only. In pre–contract system of processing export agencies provide raw mango fruits, cans or barrels and required chemicals to the processors (remaining all processing costs are incurred by processors) and pay Rs.2200 for canning units and Rs.5000 for aseptic packing units per one tonne of mango pulp.
