Résumé

Horticultural postharvest losses pose a significant challenge to the supply chain and economic growth, particularly in impoverished nations. This review paper explores the multifaceted issues surrounding postharvest losses in horticultural crops and emphasizes the critical role of technological innovations in mitigating these losses. Various stakeholders within the value chain, including farmers, handlers, and consumers, face substantial risks due to insufficient postharvest handling techniques. The study underscores the urgency of adopting advanced postharvest technologies, focusing on enhanced harvesting and packaging strategies. By using cutting-edge technologies, it is possible to lower losses after harvest and raise the general standard of fresh produce. The improper use of packing materials and inadequate packaging methods significantly contribute to these losses, making it imperative to address these aspects for sustainable solutions. This comprehensive review not only identifies the reason for fruit and vegetable losses after harvesting within the countries but also provides actionable insights into mitigating measures. This article intends to support the creation of a robust and successful horticulture supply chain by addressing the issues and offering workable solutions. The integration of technological advancements in harvesting, handling, and packaging processes emerges as a key element in the overall strategy to reduce postharvest losses and promote economic growth in resource-constrained regions.
