Another is the development of more sophisticated postharvest handling that reduces spoilage. Dried cassava is increasingly being turned into an easily stored flour
Weevil infestations caused postharvest losses as high as 50 percent until Purdue University researchers discovered that storing the cowpeas in airtight containers could preserve the crop for up to a year.

A key way to minimise the amount of food lost is through postharvest technology which can help make food last longer without losing nutrients.
We should make sure postharvest techniques are environmentally friendly and of course nontoxic to humans when applied to food.
Gum arabic can also be used on its own to enhance the shelf life and postharvest quality of tomatoes.
Cinnamon oil is another natural product that has been shown to delay postharvest rotting in bananas and extending their storage life for up to 28 days.
Our research at the Centre of Excellence for Postharvest Biotechnology at Nottingham University s Malaysia Campus is making these natural products into nano-forms or submicron particles to control postharvest diseases.
Synthetic chemicals are used currently to control postharvest diseases but consumers worry about the chemical residues they leave on fruit their environmental impact
Once proper postharvest technologies are used efficiently food losses can be minimised and the problem of food insecurity alleviated.
We believe that developing postharvest management techniques using natural products is the way forward especially

Such activities include restricting commodity imports from regions with ongoing fruit-fly outbreaks requiring postharvest treatments for produce grown in areas with established fruit-fly populations maintaining large-scale fruit-fly monitoring programs for early detection

Postharvest losses due to rotting are such a serious problem for growers and supermarkets that even an increased shelf life of one day would make an enormous difference to them said Yang Zhang lead author from the John Innes Centre.
The purple tomatoes were also less susceptible to one of the most important postharvest diseases grey mould caused by Botrytis cinerea.

Less than perfect conditions mainly due to a lack of temperature control drastically reduce the berries'postharvest life.
If you improve the efficiency of postharvest handling you reduce waste and losses and that improves sustainability Brecht said.

#Farm manager plays leading role in postharvest losswith all the effort it takes to grow a food crop from seed to sale it may be surprising that some farms in Brazil lose 10 to 12 percent of their yield at various points
along the postharvest route. According to a University of Illinois agricultural economist when it comes to meeting the needs of the world's growing population that's a lot of food falling through the cracks.
Interestingly farm managers who are aware of the factors that contribute to postharvest grain loss actually lose less grain.
Goldsmith said that one of the basic research questions of the ADM Institute for the Prevention of Postharvest Loss which funded this study is about why loss occurs.
although there are hundreds of articles about postharvest loss no one is working with the farm managers to find out from a managerial and organizational perspective what drives this loss.
There is a discrepancy between the reality of the postharvest loss and what the managers believe to be acceptable loss.
which in turn has significant implications for policy makers seeking to reduce postharvest loss. Goldsmith believes that these tropical farmers have a variety of issues at hand that trump loss.

and potential benefits associated with short-run changes in cultural practices such as transport distance postharvest activities fertilization rates and plant mortality.
However postharvest costs such as transportation transplanting take down and disposal costs added another $33. 78 in labor costs and $27. 08 in equipment costs yielding a total cost from seedling to end-of-life of $98. 60.

Postharvest tilling is a widely practised and common management technique in Europe. However ploughed fields can have a negative effect on the local climate during a heat wave.

Producers will need to know how fruit of the other color groups compare with red raspberries with regard to the many postharvest qualities noted the University of Maryland's Julia Harshman corresponding author of the study published in Hortscience
which can be worsened by postharvest decay. Postharvest susceptibility to gray mold (Botrytis cinerea) drastically reduces the shelf life of this delicate fruit.
The main goal of our research was to compare the postharvest quality of different-colored raspberries that were harvested from floricanes under direct-market conditions with minimal pesticide inputs Harshman said.
The researchers said that although there is abundant information in the literature regarding red raspberry production in regard to gray mold very little research has been conducted on postharvest physiology of black yellow or purple raspberries.
The researchers analyzed 17 varieties of raspberries at the USDA's Agricultural Research center in Beltsville Maryland examining each cultivar for characteristics such as anthocyanins soluble solids titratable acids ph
