Postharvest Technology Center
The center has maintained the features that have made the website the “go-to” resource for postharvest information and training, including an outstanding team of experts and useful information. The Postharvest Technology Center’s website gets 3 million hits a year.
Familiar navigation was maintained so regular users can find their old favorites. An updated search feature makes the postharvest library's 1,800 publications more accessible.
One of the most popular features of the web site, Produce Facts, includes recommendations for maintaining postharvest quality of individual commodities. Produce Fact Sheets, as they are now called, are available in English, Spanish, French and Arabic, and accessible two clicks from the home page. The related photo album is available from the first page of each of the 142 commodities.
The website also offers easy navigation to two social media features: a link to the postharvest blog and an opportunity to follow the center on Twitter.
