Abstract

Despite the goal set in 1975 by the Seventh Special Session of the U.N. General Assembly for a 50% reduction in postharvest losses to be achieved by 1985, little postharvest horticultural research has been published by lesser developed countries (LDCs), where losses are assumed to be high (7, 9, 12). An exception is the work of the ASEAN Postharvest Horticulture Training and Research Center in the Philippines. Interest in postharvest research, however, runs keen among LDC researchers. A recent survey of foreign alumni of the Dept. of Horticulture at Michigan State Univ. showed that the course most cited as the one they “would take today” was postharvest physiology (1).
