On Field Harvesting Index and Methods
 A STUDY REPORT ON POST HARVEST
LOSSES
FARM LEVEL PHT LOSSES
• On an average, the total postharvest loss of mango at farm level was 14.11% of
the total production. Among the losses, 7.2% was completely spoiled which
had no market value at all, whereas 6.91% were blemished (semi-spoiled) that
could sell half of the price.
• The main postharvest losses occurred at farm level was due to cut, spotted,
cracks, bruising, disease infected, and insect-pest damage found at harvest
those were discarded from good ones during sorting and grading.
• Losses were also occurred due to improper packing and transportation system
at farm level. Figure 3 reveals that the perceived damages during sorting &
grading and transportation were estimated to be 6.16% and 1.04% respectively.
• Again, 6.75% of the total loss was semi-damaged during sorting & grading and
0.16% was due to improper transportation.
 Postharvest Loss at Traders’ Level
• The total postharvest loss at trader’s level was estimated at 9.61% which
consisted of completely damaged mango (3.04%) and partial damaged mango
(6.57%).
• Partial damaged mangoes could be sold at reduced price
• Among intermediaries, the highest loss was recorded for retailer (4.64%) followed
by Bepari (3.95%) and Faria (1.02%).
• The level of postharvest loss is dependent on various factors such as length of
selling, type of transportation used, packaging system, etc.
• The volume of transaction of retailer is much lower, but the length of selling is
higher compared to other intermediaries. Therefore, retailer’s loss was reported
to be the highest among intermediaries.
• Most of the Beparis currently used plastic crates to transport mango from
assemble market to distant wholesale market that ensure lower transportation
loss in the study areas.
