Description
Consideration of the interactions between decisions made at one point in the supply chain and its effects on the subsequent stages is
the core concept of a systems approach. Postharvest Handling is unique in its application of this systems approach to the handling of
fruits and vegetables, exploring multiple aspects of this important process through chapters written by experts from a variety of backgrounds.
Newly updated and revised, this second edition includes coverage of the logistics of fresh produce from multiple perspectives, postharvest
handing under varying weather conditions, quality control, changes in consumer eating habits and other factors key to successful postharvest
handling.
The ideal book for understanding the economic as well as physical impacts of postharvest handling decisions.
Included in series

Audience:
Postharvest physiologists or technologists across the disciplines of agricultural economics, agricultural engineering, food sciences,
and horticulture along with handlers of fresh or minimally processed products within the fresh produce processing industries will find
this to be an invaluable resource.
