SAG began as a little fruit-exporting business focused on Thailand's immediate neighbors but has now expanded to the Middle East, East Asia, Europe, and the United States.  SAG is cognizant of the fact that post-harvest treatment techniques have a significant impact on the quality of fruits exported from Thailand. This is the primary motivation for SAG's tight collaboration with a renowned group of researchers focusing on "post-harvest treatment" methods.

 Post-harvest treatment techniques encompass a wide variety of methods and tools for maintaining the integrity of harvested foods after they have been harvested. Following harvest, crops and products undergo a variety of procedures, including cleaning, sorting, packaging, storage, and the use of treatments to manage pests and illnesses. Some typical post-harvest treatments include:

First, harvested crops or produce must be cleaned to remove any remaining dirt, debris, or other contaminants. Mechanical procedures such as washing, brushing, and air cleaning are commonly used for this purpose.

Second, the gathered goods are sorted and graded, according on their size, color, ripeness, or other quality features. The term "grading" refers to the process of sorting produce into quality categories. The finished product will have more consistency and homogeneity if these procedures are followed.

Third, the quality of harvested goods can be maintained by careful packing. It safeguards them from rough handling, dehydration, and contamination. Depending on the product, packaging may consist of crates, cartons, bags, or other specific containers.

Fourth, temperature control and chilling are important for many perishable goods because it stops them from ripening too quickly and prevents the formation of harmful microorganisms shortly after harvest. This is why cold storage, refrigeration, and other forms of controlled environment storage are so frequently employed.

Fifth, moisture management: To prevent rotting, it is crucial to keep harvested fruit at just the right degree of moisture after harvest. There are things that need to be stored in a certain humidity range, while others need to have their moisture content reduced by drying. The appropriate measures are taken, such as drying, dehydrating, or using moisture barriers.

Sixth, preventing or treating pests and illnesses that can harm or spoil the harvest is an important part of post-harvest treatments. Chemical treatments, fumigation, heat treatments, and biological control methods may be used for this purpose, depending on the rules and regulations.

Seventh, some fruits and vegetables are picked before they are fully ripe to increase their storage life. Ripening and maturing. It is possible to accomplish consistent ripening and improve flavor and color development by using controlled ripening treatments like ethylene treatment or exposure to certain gases.

Eighth, in order to keep tabs on the state of the harvested goods while they are in storage, regular quality assessment and testing are performed. The loss of weight, decay, stiffness, sugar content, acidity, and general look are some of the indicators that need to be examined.

These post-harvest treatment methods are crucial for increasing the marketability of agricultural products, decreasing waste, and guaranteeing that shoppers get the freshest, highest-quality food possible. It's worth noting that different crops, regions, and regulations may call for different treatment approaches.
