Industry Overview
India is the largest producer of banana in the world, accounting for 37.2 per cent of global banana production, with annual production of about 248.69 lacs MT/year and cultivation across approximately 7.21 lacs hectares. Banana contributes around 32 per cent of total fruit production in India and is widely consumed because of its nutritional value and relatively affordable price.
Approximately 90% of bananas produced in India are consumed as fresh fruit, while only about 5% are consumed in processed form. Around 2.5% is processed into dedicated banana products, with the remainder used as an ingredient in other food products. Banana can be processed into a wide range of products, including fried chips, candy, puree, pulp, beer, wafers and powder.
Banana is highly perishable, with a normal shelf life of 6-7 days. Post-harvest losses are significant and are associated with improper handling, transportation, packaging, cold-chain limitations and inadequate storage infrastructure. Value addition through products such as banana flour, powder, chips, puree, figs and flavouring ingredients can help reduce these losses while supporting demand for convenient, ready-to-eat and nutrition-oriented foods.
Banana is a source of carbohydrates, dietary fiber, potassium, vitamin B6 and vitamin C, with low saturated fat and sodium content. The report proposes a greenfield project for establishing a banana powder production capacity of 72000 Kg/Year, focusing on the conversion of a readily available and highly perishable agricultural commodity into a value-added product.

Frequently Asked Questions
Banana processing is important because it can reduce losses from the fruit's short shelf life while creating value-added food products.
Bananas are highly perishable and can normally remain in good condition for only 6-7 days under normal conditions. Processing into products such as powder, chips, puree, flour and other food ingredients can extend usability and support more efficient utilization of the crop. It can also help meet demand for convenient and nutrition-oriented food products.
Banana powder can be used as a food ingredient in bakery, confectionery, nutrition and energy-oriented products.
The report identifies banana powder as a value-added product that can help conserve the nutritional characteristics of banana while providing a convenient ingredient. Depending on its formulation and intended application, banana powder may be incorporated into bakery products, nutrition foods, confectionery products, beverages and other processed foods.
Banana is highly perishable because its normal shelf life is only 6-7 days under ordinary conditions.
The short shelf life increases the importance of timely harvesting, handling, transportation, packaging, storage and distribution. Inadequate post-harvest infrastructure can further increase losses. Processing provides an alternative route for utilizing fruit that might otherwise face quality deterioration, while converting the crop into products with greater storage and handling convenience.
Major value-added banana products include chips, candy, puree, pulp, beer, wafers and banana powder.
The report also identifies opportunities for processing banana into flour, figs and flavouring ingredients for products such as energy drinks. Different processing approaches, including drying and frying, allow banana to be incorporated into a variety of food categories. The appropriate product depends on available raw material, processing technology, target market and intended application.
Banana provides carbohydrates, dietary fiber, potassium, vitamin B6 and vitamin C, along with other nutritional components.
The report describes banana as a readily available source of energy with low saturated fat and sodium content. Its nutritional profile supports applications in convenient food products intended to provide energy and dietary nutrients. Processing methods should be selected carefully to achieve the desired product characteristics and maintain appropriate quality and nutritional attributes.
A banana powder plant requires consideration of raw-material supply, markets, utilities, transportation, plant location, equipment, waste management and regulatory requirements.
The report specifically addresses plant layout, raw-material availability, power and fuel, water supply, climate, transportation, waste disposal, labour, regulatory laws and site characteristics. It also covers machinery, utilities, environmental considerations, quality control, project implementation and financial planning. These factors should be evaluated together before finalizing a project configuration.
The proposed greenfield project is intended to establish a banana powder production capacity of 72000 Kg/Year.
The cost estimation section separately states a plant capacity of 240 Kg./Day. These figures are reproduced exactly as provided in the project report. The proposed facility is focused on converting banana into a value-added powder product, with the report covering manufacturing processes, plant and machinery, utilities, environmental considerations, quality control, project implementation and financial aspects.
