Penelope Perkins-Veazie, Chris Gunter and Marlee Trandel, North Carolina State University, USA

Chapter synopsis: Worldwide demand for organically produced specialty crops continues to increase.

This chapter discusses the differences in organic and non-organic postharvest approaches. It provides a comparison of organic postharvest regulations worldwide as well as the different practices that are used. The chapter concludes with an overall summary of how postharvest handling of organically produced specialty crops needs to be improved as well as highlighting potential future research trends.
