Integrated Post Harvest Management IPHM

1

• Integrated Post Harvest Management (IPHM)
• Prof. Susanta K. Roy
• Chief Consultant, National Horticulture Mission
• 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, JK, 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.
