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.
