SERA004: Mechanization and Post Harvest Technology of Fruits and Vegetables
Statement of Issues and Justification
To improve our ability to take advantage of vegetable production potential that exists in the Southern Region and to compete with outside producers, states in this region need a forum to collaborate on planned and ongoing research and related activities, including outreach. By sharing information regarding potential biosecurity safeguards the nations food supply can be better protected. On-going vegetable initiatives in the region would also benefit from sharing of research results, field experiences and observations, and other information. Stakeholders include participating Southern Region extension specialists, engineers and scientists working in the area of horticultural mechanization and post-harvest technology of fruits and vegetables. Ultimately the fruit and vegetable producers in the Southern Region will benefit through the research and extension process, by improving production efficiency, profitability and conservation of natural resources.
