Farmer Produce Organizations (FPOs) from Karnal visited PHPTC on 3-5-2018. The scientists of the Centre apprised the FPOs about recent postharvest technologies and demonstrated the packaging and storage techniques for fruit and vegetable. They were also made aware of food processing techniques at household level and importance of fruit and vegetable processing in boosting their income. The farmers were given tips on selling of fresh vegetables in consumer packs for maintaining quality and earning better market price. Dr. B.V.C. Mahajan, Director of this Centre told that the horticultural crops are highly perishable and are bound to spoil if not handled properly after harvest. The main reasons for these losses are the non availability of adequate postharvest infrastructure at farm and market level and lack of awareness about postharvest handling practices among the farmers. Therefore, there is need to educate farmers for careful handling of valuable horticultural produce so that postharvest losses can be minimized. Dr. Swati Kapoor demonstrated the technologies for drying and processing of fruits and vegetables.
