VAP

Value-Added Processing (VAP) transforms basic raw materials or products into more complex, convenient, or desirable goods.

Value-Added Processing increases the product’s market value and appeal to consumers through activities like cutting fish into fillets, making salsa from tomatoes, or packaging coffee with filters and coupons. It extends beyond simple production, involving customer-driven tasks such as specialized labeling, or creating ready-to-eat meals, allowing producers to capture more profit and access new markets.
