ABSTRACT :
Postharvest handling practices in Vietnam for maintenance of quality in bananas, oranges, Litchi, pineapples and vegetables are outlined. The main vegetables exported are potatoes, onions, carrots, cabbages and kohlrabi. Postharvest treatment for vegetables is still very simple (the commodities are selected, graded and held in either bamboo baskets or wooden cases, then stored and transported at cool temperatures). The results of recent studies on the use of gamma radiation for extending shelf life are summarized.
