In AgroTextiles, post harvest is the stage after crop harvesting that focuses on the preservation of quality, safety, and market value. It combines post harvest technology and postharvest biology technology for the management of changes in the physiology and biochemistry of the produce. The technological basis is post harvest biology and technology, advanced storage textiles, packaging materials, and systems for post harvest handling and post harvest handling technology.
These solutions are thanks to continual post harvest innovations that utilize textiles for ventilation, protection, and moisture-control. Applications range from post harvest fruits and vegetables to post harvest vegetables, which benefit from controlled environments and treatments that extend shelf life. Chemical treatments, stem treatments, and overall treatments minimize the risks of spoilage and loss after storage.
These include handling systems, protective agrotextiles, and storage solutions which comprise post harvest management and post harvest management infrastructure. These solutions bolster the evolving post harvest treatment market by enhancing efficiency, quality retention, and the sustainability of the supply chain.
