Thirty-five individuals, primarily from Tanzania, attended the 5 day program, which included presentations on the basics of postharvest handling by Drs. Lisa Kitinoja and Diane Barrett, and colleague Lizanne Wheeler. Topics were taken from the Small Scale Postharvest Handling book. The study tour included visits to the Postharvest Training & Services Center at AVRDC, the HomeVeg and Malarua Farm packhouses and the Njiro Ministry of Agriculture Site where a postharvest retail shop operates. Demonstrations of the Zero Energy Cool Chamber, CoolBot and various solar dryers were made.
