Tomato production can serve as a source of income for most rural and periurban producers in most developing countries of the world.
However, postharvest losses make its production unprofitable in these parts of the world.
Postharvest losses in tomatoes can be as high as 42% globally.
Postharvest losses in tomatoes can be either quantitative or qualitative.
Even though emphasis in crop research nowadays is increasing shifting from quantity to quality of produce, there is still little improvement in the quality of commercially produced tomato varieties, hence resulting in high quality losses.
From the study it was discovered that the postharvest quality status of tomatoes partly depended on some preharvest practices carried out during production.
Some of these factors are fertiliser application, pruning, maturity stage, cultivar selection, and irrigation.
Using best postharvest handling practices or factors such as temperature, relative humidity, gases in storage, postharvest calcium chloride application, and physical handling procedures to maintain the quality after harvest was also critical.
It was concluded by this study that understanding and managing both preharvest and postharvest factors properly will reduce the postharvest quality losses in tomatoes.
