Post-harvest technology aims to preserve agricultural products after harvest. It prevents losses, improves nutrition, adds value, and opens new markets. The three main objectives are maintaining quality, ensuring food safety, and reducing losses between harvest and consumption. Post-harvest involves techniques for drying, storing, processing, packaging and distributing crops to meet consumer needs and food/nutrition requirements throughout the year. Proper storage controls moisture, temperature, and pests to minimize deterioration of crops like cereals during storage.
