International Journal of Postharvest Technology and Innovation (IJPTI) (ISSN: 1744-7550)

Description

The objective of IJPTI is to establish an effective and timely channel for multidisciplinary communication between experts in academic and research institutions, practitioners and professionals working in agriculture/horticulture and related industries, policy makers, government, and non-governmental agencies involved in postharvest technology and agro-industrial development. It also provides a forum to present and discuss best practices in postharvest technology as a strategy for linking farmers to markets using appropriate technologies for product quality maintenance, quantity conservation, value-addition and marketing. Special attention will be paid to research findings and innovative best practices which have practical application to reduce the incidence of losses, maintain product quality, extend shelf-life and enhance the marketing potential of fresh and processed food products. Industry practitioners, including rural development agencies, can showcase successful postharvest technology interventions and their impacts in income generation, employment, poverty alleviation and improvement of food security in developing and transitional countries.
