In seeking to implement the section of the Strategic Plan of the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) for 1997-2001 that focuses on postharvest losses, ACIAR has devoted considerable effort to defining the rationale for investment in postharvest system research and developing a framework for collaborative research and development in postharvest technology with partner countries. This paper outlines the rationale and framework for the plan, and indicates the opportunities for interface between developing country partners and other agencies involved in international agricultural research for development. The benefits of collaboration and cooperation are reviewed.
