Title: Postharvest loss assessment of brinjal in some selected areas of Bangladesh
Abstract 
The study was conducted in three districts namely Narshingdi, Jessore and Bogra to assess the postharvest losses of brinjal. Multistage sampling technique has been used for selection of 90 brinjal growers and intermediaries, out of which 15 farmers and 15 intermediaries from each district selected randomly. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to calculate the postharvest losses of brinjal at different stages and determine the factors responsible of postharvest losses of brinjal at farmer level; a multiple linear regression model was carried. Total postharvest losses of brinjal were estimated by taking total losses at farmer, Aratdar, Bepari and retail level. A total postharvest loss of brinjal was 23.38%. Highest loss was estimated that 12.51% at the grower level. Among different intermediaries post harvest loss of brinjal was highest at retail level (5.96%) than Aratdar level losses (2.35%) and Bepari level losses (2.65%). Farming experience, sale price, transportation had negative and total production and weather had positive and significant relationship with the total postharvest loss of vegetable. Absence of postharvest treatments, low market price, lack of available storage facilities, and poor and costly transportation were the major problems at farm and intermediaries level. Proper storage facilities, easy transportation, applied scientific method of harvesting and fair price policy suggested by the study to minimize the postharvest loss.
