The CFC has been set up by Directorate of Industries and Commerce, Kashmir, in collaboration with Meerut-based process cum product development centre (PPDC) at village Sethar where bat clefts are being seasoned and dried within a shortest possible time, the spokesman said.
He said a record number of 20,000 clefts can be seasoned and dried within 10-15 days which otherwise require 7-8 months as per old method.
The Centre will facilitate more production of cricket bats, the spokesman said.
"The new procedure will boost cricket bat industry in the Valley and will promote its production on nominal cost," he said.
