A training programme on areca leaf food container making was conducted for women from 7th to 31st March 2026 in the Pollachi region. The initiative focused on the production of eco-friendly take-away food containers made from areca leaves, which are widely used in the food industry as a sustainable alternative to plastic packaging.
As part of the project, a special machinery for manufacturing areca leaf food boxes was developed in the Pollachi region to support local production and entrepreneurship. During the training, women participants gained practical knowledge in leaf selection, moulding, machine operation, shaping, finishing, quality control, and packaging of areca leaf containers.
The programme helped create awareness about sustainable livelihoods and encouraged women to explore business opportunities in eco-friendly food packaging. The trainees successfully developed skills and confidence in the areca leaf container manufacturing sector, opening new opportunities for income generation and self-employment.
