  6. tomatoes harvest globally, 90% (20 - 21.6 million tons) are aseptically processed and packaged for off-season remanufacture

  12. Postharvest losses range from 10-40%. Commodities i.e. tomatoes may be as high as 50%

  13. reduction of post-harvest losses requires step-by-step scrutiny through the entire process-

  14. in India,according to a 1999 World Bank Report, post-harvest losses amount to 12 to 16 million metric tons of food grains each year -- an amount that the World Bank stipulates could feed one-third of India's poor

  15. Afghanistan • Estimated that in the Nangarhar Provence 50-60 % of the fruits and vegetables will spoil
