Major companies operating in the tomato pastes and purees market are concentrating on developing advanced innovations, such as energy-efficient, expanded-capacity pulp and puree processing lines, to strengthen their competitive position. For instance, in September 2024, Paste & Juice, an Egypt-based bulk supplier of tomato paste and fruit purees, introduced its new production line, “PJ3,” increasing daily fresh tomato processing capacity to 2,300 tons.
