Asia Pacific is one of the Major Market for Post-Harvest Treatment
The Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share of the global post-harvest treatment market for fruits & vegetables. In 2021, Asia held nearly 50% of the share of overall fruit and vegetable cultivation, with China and India dominating the region. China and India are the leading producers and exporters of fruits and vegetables such as potatoes, apples, tomatoes, mangoes, grapes, and cucumbers. The high export and consumption rate of these fruits and vegetables is expected to drive the demand for post-harvest treatment products.
The increase in intensive agricultural practices and abusive use of pesticides has decreased nutrient levels in the soil. To reduce post-harvest losses, agricultural inputs, such as fungicides, cleaners’ ethylene blockers, are recommended by agricultural authorities, such as the FAO, and experts from leading organizations. The last two decades have witnessed considerable changes in the application of post-harvest treatment.
Huge potential for production and export of fresh produce to drive market for post-harvest treatment in Africa
