practitioners and trainers respectively, working on the post-harvest management of
non-traditional tree fruit crops. The guide describes general post-harvest handling
principles applicable to horticultural crops and documents good post-harvest
handling practice for exotic fruit produced in Jamaica.
It is hoped that the guide will stimulate improvements in the supply chains for
exotic fruit in Jamaica, leading to safer produce of higher quality and to better
economic returns for small-scale producers.
