Post-harvest handling
Keeping produce fresh from farm to market.
- Sort and grade by size and quality.
- Use clean, ventilated crates and avoid overfilling sacks.
- Keep produce cool and shaded and avoid long delays.
- Transport carefully and quickly.
- Keep a record of losses to learn where they happen.
Verify locally: figures, varieties and product choices differ by altitude, season and variety. Confirm with your county agricultural extension officer or KALRO before acting.
