Postharvest Education Blog

Fruits and vegetable crops are an important source of calories and nutrition for all human beings, and millions of small farmers produce these foods all over the world. Yet up to 50% of these perishable crops are lost between harvest on the farm and the time of consumption, due to rough handling, lack of access to improved packages, cooling or storage, and limited processing and/or transport options.

Please use this blog to share your ideas and ask questions about postharvest handling practices (click on the hotlinks below).
