To maintain the quality of organic produce from field to fork, producers must carefully manage produce following the harvest to avoid damage to quality and therefore its saleability and value. To ensure compliance with organic standards permitted postharvest treatments of produce must be abided by and food safety must be prioritised.

Here you find tools related to postharvest management of crops from the moment of harvest to transportation.
