Scope of Taj Agro in post-harvest loss reduction of grapes in India With the development of modern agro-techniques, the production of grapes in India has increased many folds in the recent years which have resulted in Indian grapes occupying a major share of the export trade in the global market. Although grapes are non-climacteric fruits and have relatively low physiological activity, yet they are subject to severe water loss following harvests resulting in stem drying, browning, berry drop, wilting and shriveling of berries. Rough handling leads to the loss of natural bloom' or wax on the surface of berries followed by invasion by several rot-causing micro-organisms, resulting in poor marketing. Therefore, it is essential to use certain post-harvest treatments of bunches with appropriate chemical or fungicide in order to prevent this huge economic loss during post-harvest handling and marketing operations. At present the majority of the grapes in the commercial trade are treated with sulphur compounds either by fumigation or through SO₂generating pads. However, uncontrolled exposure to SO₂leads to severe injury of berries and also leaves undesirable residue in the berries which is of primary concern towards consumer's health in many countries.

The success and failure largely depends on the social capital available and level of trust i.e. information sharing, joint procurement of inputs, training of manpower, setting of market centres etc. At the same time, individual farmers may compete with each other at the market place.
