Three Week Certificate course on Post-Harvest Management of Horticultural Crops will be organized by NAHEP, CAAST-CSAWM and Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth from 5- 25 April 2021.

Under changing global scenario and conscious approach, the quality, competitive pricing and the environmental sustainability are the key elements of the agricultural production system. Scientific efforts need be made to develop technologies for horticultural crops to focus the attention on handling and processing; and to tackle specific areas to arrive at practical recommendations. There is a need to develop a protocol for post-harvest handling of those crops, including harvesting, sorting, grading, packaging etc., which could be very remunerative. Several by-products are very popular from those horticultural crops but need to be explored commercially. Strengthening, handling and processing research and establishing a processing unit at different locations will serve the training purpose. It will encourage the youth to come forward to be an entrepreneur in the processing industries.

Objectives:

  • To provide knowledge of advanced food processing technologies.

  • To impart knowledge about the global food processing scenario and value addition industries.

  • To generate understanding about global food safety and quality standards.

  • To expose the participants for advanced processing, packaging methods, marketing strategies and export systems.

  • To encourage the participants for establishing processing units.

Who can apply?

  • Faculty Members, Scientist, Govt. Officers, Non-Govt. Officers, Extension personnel, KVK Officers, Industry persons or any individual who is working and/or is interested in the fields related to agriculture and engineering.
