The stones are ejected separately from the mash. The fruit enters the cylindrical screen through a hopper, transported by a worm screw. A rotor with 3 blades, approx. 800 mm long, is pressing the fruit flesh through the screen holes. The degree of inclination of the cylinder can be pre-set in order to determine the duration of the fruit inside the machine. Thus, a clean stone is leaving the machine, and the pulp and juice are collected for further processing. The screens can easily be exchanged with different sizes of holes, according to the desired result. The juice and pulp are pumped for further processing. The de-stoning machine is an easy mechanical way of removing the stones from fruits, such as cherries, plums, peaches, apricots, etc. Their is no manual labour required. The standard screen is ø 5 mm, which is applicable for plums and/or similar fruits.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION Market Opportunities Fruit and vegetable processing are among the most important agricultural activities for the development of rural businesses.

Currently, there are no fruits and vegetables processing taking place in many emerging markets and most of processed foodstuff is being imported.

Current Problems Despite this huge demand for processed and packaged fruits and vegetables, there is barely a beverages industry in poor and fragile countries satisfying this demand.

9 BACKGROUND INFORMATION Market Opportunities Fruit and vegetable processing are among the most important agricultural activities for the development of rural businesses. Pre-packaged foods and beverages are among the largest and fastest growing markets in the North as well as in developing countries. Currently, there are no fruits and vegetables processing taking place in many emerging markets and most of processed foodstuff is being imported. Therefore, multiple opportunities exist at all stages of the value chain for small and medium-sized enterprises, women enterprenuers and farmers cooperatives. Current Problems Despite this huge demand for processed and packaged fruits and vegetables, there is barely a beverages industry in poor and fragile countries satisfying this demand. One of the reasons for this is that fruits and vegetables are produced and harvested within a few months and that the crops often are highly perishable. Large amounts of harvest in such a short time pose problems for optimal (cooled) storage and protective transportation and produces lots of avoid-able waste. Additionally, the overflow of fresh fruits and vegetables on the market keeps prices very low and deprives small and mediumsized farmers of income. Another problem is that before harvesting, many farmers use chemicals which are forbidden in a wide range of countries, thus posing health problems for the local population or complicating or even inhibiting exports to regional and international markets. Local producers of agricultural commodities can't take advantage of these opportunities as they lack appropriate and hygienic storage, processing, packaging and storing opportunities. The main reasons for this are bottlenecks in their value-chains stemming from lack of know-how and agrotechnical means of production. NOMADES Swiss Solutions Local entrepreneurs expect high performance, low cost and maximum availability throughout the life cycle of their equipment. In different types of service agreements of NOMADES Swiss, we have combined low operating costs with maximum machine availability. NOMADES Swiss has designed custom-tailored solutions that integrate pre- and post-production stages according to our customer s needs. Our recommendations in choice of most efficient processing plants comprise extremely solid machinery for the processing, conditioning, and packaging of fruits and vegetables. Our projects focus mainly on local transformation of locally produced fruits and vegetables of any kind into natural processed products. As the processing plants we propose can be adapted for different production capacities (180kg up to 6000 kg of raw materials per hour) as well as for a diversity of fruits and vegetables, our solutions help extend

10 production over the harvest time frame and ensure year-round employment. This helps maximizing positive impacts for the weakest and poorest producers by giving them a guaranteed and fairly priced outcome to their production and employment opportunities on the plant site. With our Service Agreements we can offer extensive service, in terms of preventive and pro-active maintenance. Risk-eliminating preventive action and modernizing parallel to operation, training for operating staff, and consistent upgrading of equipment including cost calculation are key components of this service. Additionally, implementing local processing units help solving transportation and storage problems. The pasteurized and packaged products can be stored at least two years after processing what solves the problem of the perishable nature of fresh produce and offers solutions for malnutrition and health problems as well as extended marketing possibilities and higher added-value. Another possibility for producers is to organize them in local associations jointly running one processing unit and making them more independent from market speculations.
