Abstract
An extensive survey was conducted to collect existing pre- and postharvest practices of mango. The survey was conducted using structured and pre-tested interview schedules at four levels of mango supply chain including growers, ‘Bepari’, wholesalers, and retailers. For growers’ interview, four Upazilas of Chapai Nowabgonj (Chapai Nowabgonj Sadar, Shibganj, Bholahat, and Gomostapur) and two Upazila of Rajshahi (Charghat and Bagha) were selected. For ‘Bepari’, wholesalers, and retailers, the survey was carried out in local assemble markets of Chapai Nowabgonj and Rajshahi, wholesale and retail markets of Mymensingh and Dhaka. Results showed that 20-60% of the mango growers utilized more than 3 ha of land for growing mango in the surveyed districts. During the production, all mango growers applied pesticides to mango crop at 7-10 days interval. Importantly, 60-92% of the growers used growth regulating chemicals to increase yield. The major insect and disease were mango hopper and dieback, respectively. Results of the present survey indicated that 4-16% of the ‘Bepari’ and 2-4% of the wholesalers applied ethylene-liberating ripening chemicals like ethrel, Ripen (a.i. 80% ethephon) and calcium carbide for accelerating mango ripening. The price increase of mango was 45.83% in the supply chain before reaching the consumers. The profit margin of ‘Bepari’, wholesaler, and retailer level was 7.51%, 12.84%, and 16.06%, respectively in study areas.
Key Words: Mango, Pre-harvest practices, Postharvest practices and Postharvest loss.
