Farming helps most countries increase their economy that is dependent on agriculture. Farming is not only associated with commercialization and sparked images of rows of vegetables. After farming, post-harvesting technologies are used to prevent crops deteriorate by cooling, cleaning, sorting and packing.
Post-harvesting technologies determine the final quality, whether a crop is sold for fresh consumption, or used as an ingredient in a processed food product. The most important factor in using post-harvesting technologies is to keep the product cool and also to avoid moisture loss. Post-harvesting technologies slow down undesirable chemical changes and avoid physical damage, such as bruising and spoilage. Post-harvesting technologies processes are usually conducted in a packed house. In post-harvesting technologies, storage conditions are critical to maintaining quality.
With the help of post-harvesting technologies, each crop has an optimum range of storage temperature and humidity. The basic principles of post-harvesting technologies for most crops are the same, handle with care to avoid damage (cutting, crushing, bruising), cool immediately and maintain in cool conditions, and cull (remove damaged items).
The method of post-harvesting technologies depends on the size of the operation and the amount of mechanization. The different types of methods used in post-harvesting technologies are manual harvesting, machine threshing, machine reaping, and combined harvesting.
Post-harvesting technologies are used to develop in relation to the needs of each society to stimulate agriculture production, prevent post-harvest losses, improve nutrition and add value to production. The process of developing post-harvesting technologies and their purposeful use need an inter disciplinary and multidimensional approach.
Drivers
The emerging new technology trends are driving the adoption of post-harvesting technologies across the agriculture industry. IoT and artificial intelligence are being used by all major companies across the agriculture industry and it requires machines with high processing capabilities.
Furthermore, the use of analytics and big data processing software is increasing across the agriculture industry such as, which is driving the growth of the post-harvesting technologies market.
Challenges
The primary challenge faced by the farmer in the post-harvesting technologies market is the high cost of implementation and ensuring privacy & security. The cost of establishing post-harvesting technologies in farms is too high, due to its features and installations. Furthermore, a high level of technical skills is required for the installation and maintenance of post-harvesting technologies.
