Author(s) : BENKEBLIA N.

Summary

In Algeria, commodities such as fruits (dates and oranges) and vegetables (potatoes, onions and garlic) have a strategic role in the local and national markets. Long-term storage is by a combination of cold chain and traditional methods but losses are high. Ionizing radiation proved to be effective at greatly reducing losses and the method is increasingly practised.
