摘要

Both storable and non-storable agricultural commodities constitute a significant portion of the human diet. Their production has steadily increased due to technological advancements and the development of high-yielding varieties. The storage, transport, and marketing of agricultural produce play crucial roles in preserving harvests, ensuring food security, and facilitating economic growth. However, inadequate handling and storage practices often result in substantial losses before these commodities reach consumers. All stakeholders (i.e., farmers, traders, processors, policymakers, etc.) must address these issues. This chapter reviews the available support and the need to implement strategies and infrastructure to maximize their value and minimize the challenges associated with these commodities.
