Abstract

Cole crops are cool-season vegetables that are rich in minerals and vitamins. Post-harvest loss in the different commodities including cole crops is due to inappropriate handling, harvesting, lack of storage, transportation, and other preservation technology. The study for the topic “Post-Harvest Commodity Profile of Cole crops” is based on secondary data where relevant information is collected from different published articles, books, journals, documents, and other relevant publications. Under topic-wise discussion, maturity indices, harvesting methods, pre-cooling, transportation, storage technique, different packaging practices with value addition technologies, and marketing of cole crops are studied. The adoption of appropriate post-harvest management practices like harvesting at the right stage, and with the appropriate methods, proper field level cleaning, sorting, grading, proper packaging, and transportation contributes to the reduction of post-harvest loss under smart marketing.
