Can you share an example of how you've reduced post-harvest losses through improved handling or storage techniques?

Question

Georgina Fenning · Accepted Answer

Identify what stage of the value chain contributes to the largest impact on post-harvest loss. Statistically, the storage and processing stages are where most of the contributing factors occur. Being mindful of regional elements and considerations, the evolution of technology has provided advanced resources available to address these stages of the value chain. For example, investing in temperature regulated technology (IoT), is a value-added tool with the ability to provide verification and assurance of quality. In addition, investing in sophisticated equipment would improve and enhance process efficiencies reducing or eliminating manual methods, and increasing productivity. The market for technology is growing, and innovative capabilities are available to address and manage the storage and processing stages. Prioritizing and implementing technology into your processes are invaluable.

I worked at Amazon for four years as a software engineer on the Amazon Fulfillment Technology team, which managed all global fulfillment centers.

By implementing real-time tracking and automated sorting systems, we significantly reduced post-harvest losses.

These technologies ensured that perishable items were prioritized and handled with care, leading to fresher deliveries and less waste.
