Summary: “Fruit and vegetable storage and processing are very important for the livelihoods and health of Afghan households. Improved storage and processing can help families improve their diet throughout the year, by increasing the availability of diverse foods in the winter. Fruit and vegetable processing can also increase the income of families by reducing post-harvest losers, adding value to food products, enabling households to sell produce when prices are higher and by making produce easier to transport to the markets”—back cover.
