Background Information Senegal produces between 90 000 and 120 000 tonnes of fruit annually, -the difference reflecting climatic fluctuations and the fact that fruit crops are an alternate bearing. This project, funded by the Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, aims at reducing losses of vegetables and fruits by the introduction of improved orchard management practices and fruit and vegetable preservation techniques for family consumption. This would benefit perishable horticultural crops such as mangoes, onions, peppers and tomatoes.
