Integrated Post Harvest Management (IPHM) •The production of fruits and vegetables will have significance only when they reach the consumer in good condition and at a reasonable price. •At present there is a considerable gap between the gross production and net availability of fruits & vegetables due to heavy post harvest losses. •The success of production lies in loss reduction, prevention of market gluts, proper distribution of the produce and its subsequent use by adopting both traditional and modern post harvest technologies •100% utilization of the production in one form or the other should be the motto. •This can only be achieved by adopting Integrated Post Harvest Management (IPHM).

Importance of Vegetable in Diet • • Vegetable crops play a significant role in our daily diet. • Most vegetables and root crops are rich in minerals, carotene (Pro-vitamin A) and vitamin C. • Vegetables source of trace elements viz. like copper, manganese and zinc, which act as enzyme cofactor. • Vegetables provide dietary fibre, essential for bowel movement and prevention of several diseases. • Amount of nutrient vary with vegetables, cultural practices, stage of maturity, post-harvest handling, packaging, storage and processing. • Once harvested, composition of vegetables changes as a result of physiological and biochemical activities

CONCLUSIONS • If timely action not taken - post harvest loss will increase with increase in production. • Inappropriate to set a target for higher production without setting a target for loss reduction. • NHM working out economically viable time bound programme in States except North East, J&K, HP and Uttranchal • Adopting both traditional and modern PHT • To obtain 100% utilization of production Integrated Post Harvest Management (IPHM) is essential. • We can achieve poverty alleviation, employment generation, environment protection and economic transformation of rural India.
