At the end of February, the Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR), Bengaluru, will release a variety of tomato meant for the food processing industry in three months, according to Director M.R. Dinesh. He explained that the “processing variety” will have characteristics like being sour for making ketchup, sauce and other products.
“We will be done with the experiment on the processing variety within three months. Later we will release it,” the director said.
Now food processing majors in the country are importing the processing variety as the country does not produce it.
