Optimal-quality organic produce that achieves the desired textural properties, sensory shelf life, and nutritional content is the combined result of careful implementation of recommended production inputs and practices, careful handling at harvest, and appropriate postharvest handling and storage. This publication is an overview of general postharvest handling considerations unique to the marketing of registered or certified organic produce, with a brief introduction to currently permitted and restricted postharvest treatments.
