The economic success of fruit and vegetable production is highly dependent on post-harvest quality preservation. When marketing fresh fruits and vegetables, understanding the processes affecting product quality during storage and transportation is essential in obtaining a premium price for the product.

To assist growers in developing skills that will provide a competitive advantage within the fresh produce market, NCGT will offer a series of Postharvest Handling Workshops, in collaboration with NC State University Cooperative Extension. Participants will learn approaches and technologies to maintain product quality and extend shelf-life, limiting postharvest disorders and loss of sales.

Workshops will be led by Trish Tripp, NCGT Wholesaler Liaison, and Dr. George Wilson, Professor, Postharvest Physiology, NC State University, Department of Horticultural Science, with assistance from Cooperative Extension staff.

Geared toward producers selling into wholesale markets, as well as Extension Agents who are assisting growers with wholesale market expansion, this full-day, hands-on workshop will offer a variety of tools to assist growers in meeting US Grade #1 Standards. The introduction course is recommended for growers entering wholesale markets for the first time.

Support for this program provided by NC Growing Together, a Center for Environmental Farming Systems initiative, funded by the United States Department of Agriculture, National Institute of Food and Agriculture, grant #2013-68004-20363. www.ncgrowingtogether.org
