Production process

Celery is typically grown from seeds, which are sown in nurseries and then transplanted into fields or raised beds. The plants require consistent moisture and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil to thrive. Growers often use irrigation systems and carefully monitor soil conditions to ensure optimal growth. Harvesting involves cutting the stalks at the base, either by hand or with specialized machinery, before the produce is cleaned, packaged, and prepared for distribution.

Transportation and storage facilities are essential for the efficient distribution of the fresh produce.
