From the Desk of Director, ICAR-IIHR, BengaluruHorticultural produce is highly perishable, because of its high moistureand nutritional content. Compared to developed countries, where thesupply chain management of the horticultural produce is well establishedPost-Harvest (PH) losses in horticultural crops in developing countries aresubstantially high. In India, the PH losses in fruits and vegetables rangefrom 0.8 -16% (approx) resulting in a monetary loss of about Rs 31, 4860million (Approx 4630 million USD) every year. As horticultural crops area rich source of phytochemicals, essentially, nutrients, many developingcountries are losing a lot of nutrients, due to high PH losses. Various ways to reduce the PHlosses in horticultural crops are by introducing the concept of on-farm storage and processing,strengthening the supply chain management and improving the processing levels. Improvedprocessing resulting in production of diversified products also plays a key role in reducing thePH losses. However, increase in processing levels also results in generation of a substantialamount of residues, which though nutritionally rich are discarded/dumped in manydeveloping countries due to unavailability of the infrastructure to handle such a huge quantityof biomass and/or an established commercial use.The training programme on "Post-Harvest Technology in Horticultural Crops" wasorganized with the major objective of acquainting the participants with the simple andaffordable technologies/ protocols and the prototypes which help in reducing the PostHarvest losses, increase processing levels, by-product utilization and mechanization in Preand Post-Harvest operations in Horticultural crops. The participants (26 in all) from 12different countries from Asia and Africa participated in the training programme whichcomprised of the theory classes, practicals, exposure visits and interactions with differentexperts from various facets of Horticulture. The major emphasis of the training was onSupply Chain Management of fresh fruits ,vegetables and flowers which included harvesting,sorting, grading, pre-cooling, storage, packaging and transportation, losses at different stagesand cost-effective techniques developed by ICAR-IIHR and other research organizations inIndia to mitigate such losses; value-addition through processing and development of novelproducts; by-product utilization through development of value added products;mechanization in pre- and post-harvest operations in horticultural crops in order to reducedrudgery, improve productivity and create employment generation opportunities andextension and marketing strategies to disseminate the technologies developed by ICAR-IIHR,Bengaluru.The goal of the training programme was to see how the simple, affordable and cost effectivetechnologies developed by ICAR-IIHR could be adopted by the trainees in their homecountries. Course Directors of the training programme are in constant touch with theparticipants and apparently some of the trainees have initiated work based on the knowledgeand skill acquired by them during the 15 days training programme. ICAR-IIHR will extendall the possible technical support in implementation of Back to Work plan by the executives.MR DineshDirector3

1. INTRODUCTION1.1. BackgroundA new Agriculture Partnership between US and India to achieve Ever Green Revolution toaddress Global Food Security was announced during the State visit of US President Mr.Barak Obama to India in November 2010. The effort included Triangular Cooperationadapting technological advances and innovative solutions to address Food SecurityChallenges in Africa. This pilot stage focused on three African Countries i.e., Kenya, Liberiaand Malawi with potential to expand throughout the African Continent in future.Consequently, National Institute of Agricultural Extension Management (MANAGE),Hyderabad and National Institute of Agricultural Marketing (NIAM), Jaipur conducted7 training programs covering 219 executives from Kenya, Liberia & Malawi. Participant’ssurveys were conducted in Kenya, Liberia & Malawi to assess the impact of trainingprograms. Results were beyond expectations. Due to the success of first seven trainingprograms, there has been considerable enthusiasm from the prospective Executives fromAfrica and Asia to participate in such training programmes.As a result, USAID and Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Govt. of India identified 17Additional countries and designated the programme as Feed the Future; India TriangularTraining Program which was launched on 25th July, 2016 at New Delhi. During the programperiod until 2020, around 1400 Agricultural professionals will be trained in Africa and Asiain phased manner. The program will conduct 32, fifteen days training courses (excludingtravel period) at select Indian institutions for 25 participants in each programme. MANAGE,Hyderabad, India, an autonomous organization under Ministry of Agriculture and FarmersWelfare, Government of India has been designated as lead Institution for implementation ofthe program. Due to increasing Post Harvest losses, especially in perishable commodities,such as horticultural crops and more so in developing countries, the need for organizing atraining in Post-Harvest Technology in Horticultural Crops was felt by MANAGE.Accordingly, ICAR-IIHR, a lead Institute for research and education in horticultural crops inthe country was selected to organize the above training programme.ICAR-Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR) is a premier institute for undertakingresearch, education and extension programmes in horticulture. The Institute has developedmany high yielding varieties in vegetable, fruit, ornamental, medicinal crops; and farmerfriendly technologies for soil and plant health management, Post-Harvest management andvalue addition, which are widely accepted and adopted by the farmers, FPOs, entrepreneurs,start-ups across the country. The Institute undertakes concerted efforts regularly todisseminate the knowledge and the technologies among the National and Internationalstakeholders, so that the benefits of the technologies are realized by the society.The training programme on “Post-Harvest Technology in Horticultural Crops" wasannounced in the month of August, 2017and was scheduled during November 6-20, 2017 atICAR- Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (ICAR-IIHR), Bengaluru. Theannouncement / call received huge response from partner countries and MANAGE finallyselected26 executives from 12 countries viz., Afghanistan, Bostwana, Cambodia, Ghana,Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Mongolia, Mozambique, Myanmar, Sudan and Uganda toparticipate in the training Program. The executives selected were drawn from diverse fields,most of whom were working with the Agriculture/ Horticulture Departments in their home5
countries, while few of them were Agri Business Managers, Entrepreneurs and few wereinvolved in teaching and research in their home countries.The programme was inaugurated by Dr MR Dinesh, Director, ICAR-IIHR, Bengaluru andwas attended by all the Executives, Course Directors, Heads of Divisions from differentdivisions of ICAR-IIHR, resource faculty and Mr. Ravi Nandi, Programme Manager,MANAGE, Hyderabad. Dr. M.R. Dinesh, Director, ICAR-IIHR, inaugurated the program onNovember 7, 2017. In his presidential address, Dr. Dinesh emphasized the importance ofpost-harvest technology, especially in horticultural crops whose production is increasing yearon year, but lack of adequate infrastructure for storage, packaging and distribution and lowlevels of processing lead to huge post-harvest losses. Dr. Dinesh also suggested to have hortibusiness incubators for entrepreneurship and skill development in the production hubs andalso wished that the participants gain some knowledge and skills through this trainingprogramme, which could be adopted in their home countries in reducing post-harvest lossesthere.Dr Harinder Singh Oberoi, Principal Scientist and Head, Division of Post-HarvestTechnology and Agricultural Engineering, Course Director for the course emphasized on theneed to have low cost on-farm storage and processing facilities and urged the participants toadopt such strategies to curtail the post-harvest losses. Dr. R. Venkattakumar, PrincipalScientist and Head, Division of Social Sciences and Training, one of the co-Course Directorsadvised the participants to replicate the Agro Business Incubator model of ICAR-IIHR intheir respective countries for capacity building purpose. Dr. D. V. Sudhakar Rao, Dr. G.Senthil Kumaran, Dr. R. B. Tiwari, and Mr. G. A. Atheequlla were the other Co-CourseDirectors from ICAR-IIHR for this program.6

1.2. Objectives of the training programmeHorticultural produce is highly perishable, because of its high moisture and nutritionalcontent. Compared to developed countries, where the supply chain management of thehorticultural produce is well established, Post-Harvest (PH) losses in horticultural crops indeveloping countries are substantially high. As horticultural crops are a rich source ofphytochemicals, essentially, nutrients, many developing countries are losing a lot of nutrients,due to high PH losses. Various ways to reduce the PH losses in horticultural crops are byintroducing the concept of on-farm storage and processing, strengthening the supply chainmanagement and improving the processing levels. Improved processing, resulting inproduction of diversified products also plays a key role in reducing the PH losses. Increase inprocessing levels also results in generation of a substantial amount of residues, which thoughnutritionally rich are discarded/dumped in many developing countries due to unavailability ofthe infrastructure to handle such a huge quantity of biomass and/or an established commercialuse. The present course therefore was designed with the following objectives keeping in mindthe need of human resource development and capacity building in Post-Harvest management,value addition and processing of horticultural crops:To acquaint the participants with the different supply chain management operations inimportant horticultural crops grown in Afro-Asian countries.To demonstrate appropriate technologies for processing and value-addition in importanthorticultural cropsTo expose the participants to different technologies for waste valorization/ by-product/residuemanagement in horticultural crops.To organize field visits to the companies dealing with the supply of fresh horticultural crops,processing units, especially developed using the ICAR-IIHR technologies and also thevegetable and ornamental nurseries.1.3. Key focus areas of the training moduleThe training course emphasized on the different protocols used in the supply chainmanagement of fresh horticultural crops, viz., harvesting, pre-cooling, sorting, grading,washing and disinfection, storage and packaging. An exposure was provided to theparticipants in the area of Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) of a few selected freshhorticultural crops. Protocol standardization for extension of shelf life of the fresh-cutvegetables was also be demonstrated to the participants. In addition, participants wereacquainted with the low cost ripening system of climacteric fruits. The participants were alsoexposed to different techniques used for processing of fruits and vegetables, such aspreparation of fruit bars, osmotic dehydration of selected fruits, crushed tomatoes andpreparation of fruit beverages. Participants were acquainted with the physico-chemical,biochemical, nutritional and microbiological analysis conducted for fresh as well asprocessed products.The participants were also exposed to the operations involved in dehydration of flowers, byproduct utilization and value-addition through the use of extracts from the horticulturalresidues. Mechanization in PH operations for selected horticultural crops was also bedemonstrated to the participants in the Agricultural Engineering section.9
In addition to the field visits outside the ICAR-IIHR campus, the participants were also takenaround the ICAR-IIHR fields and various infrastructural facilities, such as Referral FoodTesting Laboratory, polyhouses and other laboratories connected with Post-Harvesttechnology, directly or indirectly.1.4.
