Harvesting is the first important step in the packaging process. At this stage, farmers laboriously collect raw materials (such as fruits, vegetables, or other crops) from the fields. When the crops are mature and ready for harvest, the crops are harvested very efficiently using modern agricultural machinery. Also many times harvesting is done manually. Crops are stored in baskets and sacks. So that the crop is not damaged during transportation.

After harvesting the crops, the farmers prepare them for transportation. The crops are packed in sacks and big baskets and transported using trucks, light trucks and other powerful vehicles. Crops are transported by skilled drivers. The drivers drive the crops very efficiently to the factory. After taking the crops to the factory, the products are taken for processing.

After bringing the raw materials to the factory, the food processing step is completed by completing several processes with the raw materials. For example, we can get an idea of product processing by describing the process of making tomato ketchup.

Let's get into the details: First, factory-ripened tomatoes are thoroughly cleaned with water and disinfectants. Next, the cleaned tomatoes are placed in a large container on a conveyor belt. Sugar, water, vinegar and all ingredients for making tomato ketchup are added there. Then ketchup is mixed well with all the ingredients. After the liquid tomato ketchup is made, tomato ketchup bottles are filled into various sizes and suitable for packaging.

After a product is manufactured it is ready for packaging. When a product is completely ready for packaging, workers pack the products into dozen. Usage rules including production date and expiry date are mentioned on the product at the time of packaging and all information about the company and the product is added to the product.

Also, packaging is done using modern technology in advanced factories.
