Post-harvest cooling.
What is Post-harvest cooling?
Post-harvest cooling is the process of rapidly reducing the temperature of freshly harvested crops to slow down spoilage and maintain quality. It helps preserve freshness, flavor, and nutritional value by minimizing respiration, water loss, and microbial growth. Effective post-harvest cooling extends the shelf life of produce, ensuring it remains marketable and reduces food waste.
Challenges.
High Post-Harvest Losses that lead to significant financial losses.
Limited Market Access as perishable produce cannot be transported far.
Reliance on inefficient alternatives that fail to preserve crop quality.
Solutions.
Key Benefits.
