Although agriculture is the main source of livelihood to the majority of smallholder farmers, post- harvest losses has been among the major contributor to food scarcity due to low value addition and inadequate cold chain facilities particularly for horticultural produce such as fruits and vegetable. The different fruits and vegetables like carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, ginger, green leafy vegetables among others are important protective foods because of their nutritional value.
