Recommended Conferences for Post Harvest Technology

Post Harvest Technology


As per available reports about 25 Open Access Journals, 20 Conferences, 90 open access articles are presently dedicated exclusively Post harvest technology and about 535 conference proceedings are being published on Post harvest technology.


Post harvest technology is inter-disciplinary topic applied to agricultural produce after harvest for its protection, conservation, processing, packaging, distribution, marketing, and utilization to meet the food and nutritional requirements of the people in relation to their needs. It has to develop in consonance with the needs of each society to stimulate agricultural production; prevent post-harvest losses, improve nutrition and add value to the products. In this process, it must be able to generate employment, reduce poverty and stimulate growth of other related economic sectors. The process of developing of post harvest technology and its purposeful use needs an inter-disciplinary and multi-dimensional approach, which must include, scientific creativity, technological innovations, commercial entrepreneurship and institutions capable of inter-disciplinary research and development all of which must respond in an integrated manner to the developmental needs.

OMICS International:
OMICS International is an Open Access Publications group which organizes International scientific conferences worldwide. This can be achieved through the support of 700 Open Access Journals, 50000 Editorial team, 1000 more scientific societies 21 Days rapid review process with valuable 3.5 Million readers conducting 300 scientific conferences per year.
In this way OMICS International Conferences are engraved to the marks of success in open access publishing & also in organizing scientific events. The OMICS International event participants are typically high-level decision makers representing various parts of the industry and many participants are repeaters who know each other.
Conferences and Symposiums of OMICS International enlightens your research path by gathering scientific professionals from across the globe to discuss the recent scientific discoveries done followed by the interactive sessions through B2B meetings and scientific partnering. The importance and significance of OMICS International Conferences can be gauged by the fact that it has made huge advancements over the course of time and is continuing to influence various sectors.

Scope and Importance:
Importance of Post-harvest technology lies in the fact that it has capability to meet food requirement of growing population by eliminating avoidable losses making more nutritive food items from low grade raw commodity by proper processing and fortification, diverting portion of food material being fed to cattle by way of processing and fortifying low grade food and organic wastes and by-products into nutritive animal feed. Post harvest technology has potential to create rural industries. This process has resulted in capital drain from rural to urban areas, decreased employment opportunities in the rural areas, balance of trade in favor of urban sector and mismatched growth in economy and standard of living including the gap between rural and urban people. It is possible to evolve appropriate technologies, which can establish agricultural based rural industries.
The purpose of post harvest processing is to maintain or enhance quality of the products and make it readily marketable. Prime example of post harvest processing of agricultural products is rice, a major crop in India. Paddy is harvested and processed into rice.

Post Harvest Losses:
Due to old and outdated method of paddy milling, improper and inefficient methods of storage of paddy, rice, transport and handling we lose about nine percent of production. The traditional methods of storage are responsible for about six percent losses. It is estimated that 10-15 percent of horticultural crop such as vegetables and fruits perish due to lack of proper methods of processing and storing. Proper methods of processing, storage, packaging, transport and marketing are required for export of crops such as jute, tea, cashew nuts, tobacco, mango, litchi, nut, spices and condiments. One of the attributes to this post harvest system, as it is now constituted, is the large amount of wastage it involves. Losses of food crops refer to many different kinds of loss produced by a variety of factors. These include weight loss, loss of food values, loss of economic value, loss of quality or acceptability and actual loss of seeds themselves.

Strategies and Priorities:
The priority areas in food processing are,
1. Processing of special fruits and nuts like, banana, litchi, mango, pineapple, makhana etc. and canning and storage facility for the above produce.
2. Large scale introduction of mini rice mill in villages and mandies coupled with semi-modern parboiling plant for paddy to have higher head rice recovery with better quality bran. Oil production from bran with a chain of collection mechanism for supplying raw material for the plant.
3. More emphasis on the use of power ghani or expeller in place of Kolhu for higher recovery.
4. Establishment of dal mills in pulse growing belt as a village cooperative program.
5. Emphasis on cottage industry involving village women for the manufacture of food products.
6. Popularization of low cost engineering storage structures.
7. Starch production from maize and potato and simultaneous oil production from maize.
8. Strengthening of research base with adequate financial support.
9. Emphasis on production of value added products from locally available fruits and vegetables.

Post Harvest Industries:
The post harvest industry includes the following main components
1. Harvesting and threshing
2. Drying and storage
3. Processing (conservation and / or transformation of the produce)
4. Utilization by consumer including home processing
Other allied components of the system include:
1. Transportation and distribution
2. Marketing
3. Grading and quality control
4. Pest control
5. Packaging
6. Communication among all concerned
7. Information, demonstration and advisory systems
8. Manufacture and supply of essential equipment and machinery
9. Financial control
10. Price stabilization
11. Management and integration of the total system
