The  view  that the role of men is the productive role in the public sector and the role of women is a reproductive role in the domestic sector. This study aims to identify and analyze the participation of women in farm management in Goarie Village, Marioriwawo Subdistrict, Soppeng Regency. The research uses the qualitative approach and a case study research type. Data collection techniques are by in-depth interviews, observation wihout partisipation, literature review, and documentation. Informant determination technique is done by purposive sampling. The informants comprised 5 women or families whose main job are  farmers and involve in farming activities with their husbands, and had married for at least 4 years. The data analysis consists of data reduction phase, data presentation, and the conclusion, which then  analized using the technique componential analysis. The research results indicated that the women participate in all phases of farm management, ranging from land preparation, seedlings, planting, fertilizing, maintenance, harvesting, post-harvest management, sales, storage of sales proceeds, and utilization of sales proceeds.It is concluded, the women participate in all phases of the farm management, and dominand in the nursey,, harvesting, post-harvest proceeds, sales, storage, and utilization of sales proceedsPandangaan bahwa peran laki-laki adalah peran produktif di sektor publik dan peran perempuan adalah peran reproduktif di sektor domestik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis partisipasi perempuan dalam pengelolaan usaha tani di Desa Goarie, Kecamatan Marioriwawo, Kabupaten Soppeng. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan jenis penelitian studi kasus. Teknik pengumpulan data yaitu dengan wawancara mendalam, observasi tidak turut serta, kajian kepustakaan, dan dokumentasi. Teknik penentuan informan dilakukan dengan cara purposive sampling. Informan  dalam penelitian ini adalah 5 orang perempuan atau keluarga yang pekerjaan pokoknya adalah petani dan ikut terlibat dalam kegiatan usaha tani bersama suaminya, serta telah menikah minimal 4 tahun. Teknik analisis data terdiri dari tahap reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan yang selanjutnya dianalisis dengan menggunakan teknik analisis komponensial. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perempuan ikut berpartisipasi dalam semua tahap pengelolaan usaha tani, yaitu mulai dari persiapan lahan, pembibitan, penanaman, pemupukan, perawatan, panen, pengolahan pasca panen, penjualan, penyimpanan hasil penjualan, dan pemanfaatan hasil penjualan. Disimpulkan bahwa perempuan berpartisipasi dalam semua tahap pengelolaan usaha tani dan dominan pada tahap pembibitan, panen, pengolahan pasca panen, penjualan, penyimpanan, dan pemanfaatan hasil penjualan.

This paper offers a comprehensive account on the emerging concepts and practices in post-harvest management of horticultural crops. Post-harvest science and technology facilitates the industries to deliver safe, nutritious and fresh horticultural products to consumers at the end of the supply chain from farm to mouth. Substantial food wastages, which occur in the post-harvest period and such losses, could be reduced by improved post-harvest research, advancement, training and education. At present, many novel technologies and techniques are already being implemented to reduce the post-harvest losses which are witnessed at harvesting, during packing and transportation, in wholesale and retail markets, and during delays at various levels of handling. Improvements are also required to minimize the losses effectively and keep the process-cost low so that it could be applicable at commercial scale in a wide range of economic levels. By developing the practices utilized at post-harvest phase, the expenses accompanying for additional processing paces could also be reduced. Future studies should also be focused on incorporating various emerging technologies with post-harvest practices and appropriate improved practices should be adopted to an existing value chain and marketing system.

Fruits and vegetables are highly perishable in nature and have a very short shelf-life. During different handling and marketing procedures, there is massive post-harvest loss of horticulture produce, either or both qualitative and quantitative, between harvest and consumption. Factors affecting post-harvest losses differ with topography, varieties of crops, climate, etc. and are difficult to understand. Considering the fact, the present study aims to describe the status of post-harvest losses of horticultural produce and their potential management techniques. Secondary data is used to collect the related information. The demand of high-quality horticulture produce is increasing due to its healthy nutrition. Post-harvest management of the produce includes pre- and post-harvest practices, their handling, packaging, storage, distribution, and marketing. The storage life and marketable quality of the produce can be maximized by limiting (not stopping) the respiration and transpiration through proper control of temperature and relative humidity of the produce. The right selection of packaging materials and technologies play vital role in maintaining product quality and freshness during storage and distribution. Moreover, the innovative techniques like modified active packaging, active and intelligent packaging, controlled atmospheric storage, and use of antimicrobial could extend the shelf life of produce to a significant time. This review mainly focuses on the causes of qualitative and quantitative losses of horticulture produce along with the effective measures to control the losses in Nepalese context. It emphasized on the adoption of innovative technologies to improve the storage life, marketable quality and freshness of the produce.

By Products

Fruits and vegetables are foods that come into contact with various types of microorganisms from planting to their consumption. A lack or poor sanitation of these products after harvest can cause high losses due to deterioration and/ or pathogenic microorganisms. There are practically no post-harvest fungicides or bactericides with a broad spectrum of action that have no toxic residual effects and are safe. However, to minimize such problems, the use of sanitizers is an efficient device against these microorganisms. Chlorine is the most prevalent sanitizing agent because of its broad spectrum, low cost and well-established practices. However, the inevitable formation of disinfection by-products, such as trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs), is considered one of the main threats to food safety. Alternative sanitizers, such as chlorine dioxide (ClO2) and ozone, are becoming popular as a substitute for traditional post-harvest treatments. Thus, this review addresses the use of chlorine, chlorine dioxide and ozone emphasizing aspects, such as usage, safe application, spectrum of action and legislation. In order to ensure the quality and safety of final products, the adoption of well-prepared sanitation and sanitation programs for post-harvest fruits and vegetables is essential.
