Poscosecha
El manejo efectivo durante el período de poscosecha, más que el nivel de sofisticación de cualquier tecnología dada, es la clave para lograr los objetivos deseados. Si bien las operaciones a gran escala pueden beneficiarse de la inversión en maquinaria de manipulación costosa y tratamientos poscosecha de alta tecnología, a menudo estas opciones no son prácticas para los manipuladores a pequeña escala. En cambio, las tecnologías simples y de bajo costo a menudo pueden ser más apropiadas para operaciones comerciales de pequeño volumen y recursos limitados, agricultores involucrados en la comercialización directa, así como para proveedores de exportadores en países en vías de desarrollo.
-- FAO
Las causas de las pérdidas y el desperdicio de alimentos en los países de bajos ingresos están vinculadas principalmente con las limitaciones financieras, administrativas y técnicas en las técnicas de recolección, las instalaciones de almacenamiento y la refrigeración en condiciones climáticas difíciles, la infraestructura, los sistemas de envasado y comercialización. Dado que muchos pequeños agricultores de los países en vías de desarrollo viven al margen de la inseguridad alimentaria, una reducción de las pérdidas de alimentos podría tener un impacto inmediato y significativo en sus medios de vida.
Las cadenas de suministro de alimentos en los países en vías de desarrollo deben fortalecerse, entre otras cosas, impulsando a los pequeños agricultores a organizarse y diversificar, así como a aumentar su producción y comercialización. También se requieren inversiones en infraestructura, transporte, industrias alimentarias e industrias de envasado. Tanto el sector público como el privado tienen un papel que desempeñar para lograrlo.
