Abstract

Sudan has a great potential to produce good quality fruits and vegetables. This is because of its large areas of fertile soil, abundant amount of water from rivers, rains and underground water, suitable wide range of climate which allow variability of crops. Studies showed high losses (30→40%) of fruits and vegetables during harvesting, transport and handling. These losses add to the cost of production and have negative impact on marketing and hence national economy. Therefore adoption of proper post-harvest techniques, investment in the infrastructure and post-harvest technology should be established.
