Quality management of fresh produce from the highlands of Papua New Guinea (pdf 1mb)

This postharvest manual is a valuable reference for farmers, marketers and extension personnel as they seek to improve the management and marketing of highlands-based fresh produce.

It provides guidelines for improving the management of fresh produce to help maintain its quality through the supply chain from the farmer to the consumer.

The idea of improving quality management and technologies for fresh produce in PNG is still a relatively new concept. There is a general lack of appreciation that specific management procedures are required to maintain the quantity, quality, safety, nutrition and value of fresh produce after harvest. The purpose of this manual is to fill this knowledge gap.

This manual is divided into four parts, each able to be downloaded separately.
