The processing of Araku Valley coffee will soon be done in Andhra Pradesh, and the Girijan Cooperative Corporation (GCC) can claim it to be a ‘Make in A.P.’ product once its plans materialise.
The GCC currently depends on an outsourcing agency in Bengaluru for processing the coffee.
The GCC has finalised to set up a Coffee Processing Unit (CPU) in an extent of 1.5 acres of land it owns at Dounuru village of Paderu mandal in Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) district at a cost of ₹5 crore.
