The main cereal crops cultivated in China include paddy rice, wheat, maize, millet, and sorghum. The output of both paddy rice and wheat ranks first in the world. China is also a major fruit producer. However, the development of agriculture still faces significant challenges. The paper addresses the postharvest problems encountered in agricultural products, especially cereals, fruits and vegetables such as postharvest handling, storage methods, postharvest loss, packaging, food distribution, shelf-life extension and some socio-customary problems. It introduces various aspects relating to the background, present situation, countermeasures, development, future targets and international cooperation.
