Date: 1900.01.01
Summary
These proceedings contain 24 papers presented at this workshop, held in Beijing, People's Republic of China. The workshop provided an opportunity to fully report on the outcomes of a joint Chinese and Australian project on postharvest handling of leafy vegetables. It also introduced new research challenges that have been proposed in the fields of postharvest handling of melons and in improvements to the microbial safety of fresh vegetables. Key issues raised include: the need for technologies appropriate to cost structures in an industry; more emphasis on the whole postharvest handling system from farm to consumer; training and education of industry people and support staff; improved packaging and transport systems; improved storage technology for long-term storage of leafy vegetables; improved postharvest disease management; food safety; value-adding and processing; marketing strategies and supply-chain management; export market access.
