Frequently Asked Question!
Post-harvest products encompass a range of solutions, technologies, and equipment designed to enhance the storage, preservation, and distribution of agricultural produce after it has been harvested. These products help maintain the quality, extend shelf life, and reduce losses of crops during the post-harvest phase.
Post-harvest products are crucial for minimizing spoilage, preserving nutritional value, and ensuring that harvested crops reach consumers in the best possible condition. These products play a significant role in reducing food waste and increasing the efficiency of supply chains.
Post-harvest products include cooling and ventilation systems, packaging materials, ethylene control devices, quality testing equipment, post-harvest treatments such as sanitizers and coatings, and cold chain management solutions.
Ethylene control products regulate the levels of the natural plant hormone ethylene in storage environments. By minimizing ethylene exposure, these products slow down the ripening process and extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables.
Packaging materials such as moisture-resistant films and modified atmosphere packaging help create a protective barrier around crops, preventing moisture loss, contamination, and physical damage. This helps maintain freshness and quality during storage and transport.
Quality testing equipment allows producers and distributors to assess the quality and freshness of their products. It measures factors like moisture content, sugar levels, and overall freshness, helping ensure that only high-quality produce reaches consumers.
