Definition and Scope: Post-harvest treatment refers to the various processes and techniques applied to agricultural products after they have been harvested. These treatments are aimed at preserving the quality and extending the shelf life of the produce. Post-harvest treatments can include cleaning, sorting, grading, packaging, and applying treatments such as fungicides or coatings. The goal is to minimize losses due to spoilage, pests, or physical damage, ensuring that the products reach consumers in optimal condition. Post-harvest treatment plays a crucial role in the agricultural supply chain, impacting the overall quality and market value of the produce. The market for post-harvest treatment is experiencing significant growth driven by several key factors.
