The Art and Science of Post-Harvest Handling
You’ve spent months prepping the soil, monitoring irrigation, and protecting your crops from pests. The harvest is bountiful and the quality looks superb. However, in the world of high-value horticulture—especially for exports like French beans, chilies, and herbs—the work doesn’t end at the harvest; it truly begins there.
Statistics show that in many developing markets, up to 40% of produce is lost between the farm gate and the consumer. At Griffins Agri Farms, we know that professional post-harvest handling is what separates a profitable farm from one that is merely “getting by.”
