    This document discusses value addition of seasonal vegetables and seed spices during the COVID-19 pandemic. It notes that the lockdown has adversely impacted small farmers who typically sell fresh produce. It suggests that processing vegetables and spices into products like pickles, chutneys, and dehydrated goods can help reduce losses for farmers and boost their income. This processing can be done at the village level, including by women's self-help groups. The value-added products can then be stored and sold later, once lockdown restrictions are lifted.

    ABSTRACT
    As we all know that lockdown due to COVID-19 is having an adverse effect on
    agriculture sector in India especially on small and marginal vegetable growers. Vegetables are
    preferably consumed as fresh through daily marketing. The nation-wide lockdown has
    entrenched the economy as well as the eco-system. The agriculture sector is facing a lot of
    trouble with labourers and movement of goods across the country. Recently, Indian agriculture
    suffered irreparable loss due to unseasonal rains and other day-to-day climatic problems.
    Growers facing another hit due to disruptions from COVID-19 the major problems arising are
    transportation facility, market shutdown and reduce in demand for fresh vegetables due to
    direct supply in the marketing system, resulting wastage and rotting up of the farm produce
    and farmers are not getting proper price of their produce.Vegetables are moderately to highly
    perishable in nature and may cause losses, if not sold/ consumed well in time. The post-harvest
    handling and processing can reduce immediate losses at farmer’s level. Number of methods
    are described for processing and value-addition of vegetables and seed spices. Among these,
    preparation of different types of pickles, chutneys, sauces, ketchups, preservatives, dehydrated
    products at village level. In this direction- Women Self-help Groups (WSHG) can also play a
    vital role in processing of seed spices. Like seasonal vegetables, seed spices crops (coriander,
    fenugreek, fennel, nigella), turmeric can also be processed in many ways to boost up the
    farmers income. The prepared products can easily be stored for some times at farmer’s level.
    After overcoming from lockdown phase these processed/ value added products can reach to the
    consumers with good quality.
