14-25 June Angelika Langridge, the CrispConsulting trainer in wholesale and retail, took part in the 32nd Annual Postharvest Technology Short Course, conducted by UC Davis Research & Information Centre. The course included a two-week intensive study of current technological procedures used for handling fruits, nuts, vegetables and ornamentals in California. Topics, covered by the Course, included such questions as quality evaluation, harvesting systems, preparation for market, packinghouse facilities and equipment, environmental control, sanitation and other procedures related to decay and insect control, marketing and many others. We would be glad to share the obtained information with Russian specialists of the fruit industry during the upcoming season.
