Regional strategies, experience, and the potential for collaboration in postharvest handling and storage of food commodities and animal feedstuffs.

ABSTRACT :

 

This paper examines the framework for international cooperation in technology for the handling and storage of food commodities and animal feedstuffs in Southeast Asia, making particular reference to Vietnam. The various opportunities for collaboration through national, regional and global programmes are explored in bilateral and multilateral modes. Strategic issues are identified that must attract a high priority in national programmes for addressing problems that constrain development and improvement in agriculture and in public health and welfare. These include quality assurance and the technology to implement programmes that achieve this, whether with perishable commodities such as fruits, vegetables, meat and fish, or durable commodities such as grain; value adding to commodities, including processing and other methods of income generation; and economic evaluation of problems and the interventions needed to solve them, as well as the establishment of priorities for attention to such activiti

es. Specific topics are identified that cause the most significant losses and that are relevant to development assistance programmes and transfer of technology from developed countries. These include management of moisture, temperature, pests, diseases and mycotoxins.
