highly standardized output is produced hence it lacks variety. Theequipment used in the
production of dried mangoes has low specializationhence resulting to a high demand for
labor and worker skills. This is evidentin the production area where there is a high
demand for labor and skills, andequipment is only used in the packing and checking of
the dried mangoes

many of its business counterparts.

We have what it takes to provide products that meet international standards. Premium-

all products. To ensure that our products bear the Paradise quality, we employ ultra-
modern equipment and the latest technological concepts in our production.

environment. In the aseptic process, the fruit puree is heated to sterilized temperature then
immediately cooled down to room temperature within the system before it goes into
sterile containers. This technique allows retention of the fruit's natural flavor, color and
aroma while prolonging shelf life.

The entire processing, filling and packing lines are fully automated. Despite this, our
production personnel do not rest content. They still keep a close watch at every stage in
the process to guarantee strict compliance to quality standards.
