The Importance of Effective Post-Harvest Management for Farmers.
Did you know that effective post-harvest management plays a crucial role in both climate action and environmental sustainability? Today I will explain why crops must always be harvested in bright weather to maintain their quality, and how post-har management can benefit farmers in various ways.
Harvesting in Bright Weather: Maintaining Crop Quality
Harvesting crops on a bright day is more than just a coincidence , it actually helps maintain the quality of the produce. Bright weather helps ensure that the crops are dry at the time of harvesting, reducing the risk of excess moisture and potential mould or bacterial growth. This is especially important for crops that are prone to spoilage, such as fruits, vegetables, and grains.
Additionally, harvesting in bright weather allows farmers to assess the quality of the crops more accurately. They can easily identify any signs of damage, disease, or pests and make informed decisions about the suitability of the produce for market distribution.
