Avoid physical damage such as bruising to delay spoilage. Reduce post-harvest losses of fresh produce. Maintain quality, preserve nutrient content, and earn higher prices at market. Ensure food safety by protecting commodities from mold growth and contamination. Add value and improve food safety. Alleviate food insecurity all over the world. Increase sales and the availability of fresh food all year round. Importance of Post-Harvest

4. Mechanical loss is caused by poor handling from the stage of harvesting to storage. Microbial action is caused by microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, yeasts etc., which readily affects perishable food crops like fruits and vegetables. Environmental factors like temperature and humidity are the two important factors primarily responsible for the post-harvest losses. Primary Factors of losses in Post-Harvest

5. Inadequate harvesting methods Incomplete drying before threshing Inadequate storage facilities Longer shipment Longer distribution period Lack of market access and policies Secondary Factors of losses in Post-Harvest
