Post-harvest is a general term applicable in major sectors like, agriculture/ horticulture, animal (dairy, poultry, sheep/ goat etc.) and fisheries
Indian agriculture need not to engross special practices, instead explore the specialities of our regular practices like “instead of doing different things concentrate on doing things differently”. A simple way to educate the agriculture is through bring out all the agricultural technologies in a single frame which helps the farmers to choose the best practice most suitable for their specific work. Also, an interdisciplinary approach through integrated farming should be the motto for our future agriculture.
Post-harvest is a general term applicable in major sectors like, agriculture/horticulture, animal (dairy, poultry, sheep/goat etc.) and fisheries. It is such a universal activity for agriculture that must be effectively used to increase the productivity which helps in reducing the poverty that would change the whole world. Safety and reduction in losses are the major concerned fields of post-harvest processing. Implementation of better postharvest practices certainly helps in following ways,
• Increase the yield of food production by reducing the losses during crop harvesting.
• Increase the food supply which indirectly reduces the food scarcity.
• Increase the profit to the farmers which attracts/ influence the stakeholder participation to get involved in the agriculture/farming.
• Increase in productivity influence the growth of food and seed industries that inturn increase the country’s GDP and reduces the unemployment problems in rural areas.
• Attracts the global markets through our improved post-harvest process that reduced post-harvest losses which helps in improving the country’s status worldwide.
