What problem does the tool address?:Many growers are lacking knowledge on proper post-harvest handling and its influence on product quality. Due to lack of instruction, many farmers have adopted individual post-harvest management practices. During production and processing, medicinal and aromatic plants are exposed to a large number of microbiological and other contaminants which can decisively deteriorate the quality of the herbs.
What solution does the tool offer?:The guide provides recommendations and guidelines for producers to ensure a high outer and inner product quality in medicinal and aromatic plants, and thus ensure good marketability of the products.
