Reducing post-harvest losses
Intermediate 25 min
A large share of income is lost after harvest to spoilage and poor handling. Small improvements here go straight to your bottom line.
What you’ll learn
- Handle and cool produce quickly after harvest
- Dry and store at the right moisture and temperature
- Package to survive transport
Handle with care
Harvest at the right maturity, keep produce out of direct sun, and cool it as soon as possible. Bruised or overheated produce loses value fast.
Store smart
Match storage to the crop — dry storage for grains, cold storage for perishables. Warehousing providers on Mydjara can help you store at scale close to your buyers.
