In a bid to enhance shelf-life of potatoes, Gujarat will soon set up its first potato dehydration centre in Palanpur town with a handling capacity of 500 kg per hour.
The Centre has proposed to invest Rs 19.5 crore in Palanpur town of north Gujarat, accounting for the highest potato output in the state.
The site for the project has been finalised and the construction work will commence soon after the monsoon, according to officials.
