Many growers are lacking knowledge on proper post-harvest handling and its influence on product quality. Due to lack of instruction, many farmers have adopted individual post-harvest management practices. During production and processing, medicinal and aromatic plants are exposed to a large number of microbiological and other contaminants which can decisively deteriorate the quality of the herbs.

The guide provides recommendations and guidelines for producers to ensure a high outer and inner product quality in medicinal and aromatic plants, and thus ensure good marketability of the products.
Description
The guide focuses on hygiene, the harvest and all the post-harvest operations including primary preparation, drying, primary processing and sorting, packaging, storage, and transport of herbs in organic agriculture.
