Environmental concerns are now a major consideration in all aspects of crop production and supply chains – as are postharvest losses, which can account for up to half of production worldwide.
The postharvest industry is increasingly important and expanding, with companies that provide packaging, grading, storage and transport of fresh produce actively seeking graduates who have an awareness and understanding of the issues involved.
As a student at ARU Writtle you’ll have access to the Postharvest Unit, which undertakes research and trials with commercial companies. We’ll also arrange visits to growers and post-harvest facilities.
This gives you the opportunity to study a range of crops, and investigate the techniques used for postharvest handling and the underlying mechanisms which determine and limit those techniques.
