2 1. Introduction ASEAN-JAPAN PARTNERSHIP PROJECT (CLMV Focus) TITLE : International Training Course on Post-harvest Technology and Processing of Agricultural Crops HOST : Thailand Department of Agriculture (DOA), Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives (MOAC) DATE : 14 November to 4 December 2010 (3 weeks) VENUE : Province SPONSOR : Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan (MAFF) under the ASEAN-Japan Partnership Project Implemented by the ASEAN Secretariat. IMPLEMENTER : Post-harvest Engineering Research Group, Agricultural Engineering Research Institute, Department of Agriculture Tel: , Fax: Venue: Post-harvest Engineering Research Group, Klong Luang District, Province. Appropriate post-harvest technology and processing of agricultural crops have been developed through research and development efforts in various national research institutions involved in grains and fruits handling. Whilst there are many technologies available to the grain industry and processing technology of agricultural crops, their adoption has been minimal due to limitations in training and extension in the post-harvest sector. The need of strengthening national training capabilities and institutions involved in crops post-harvest handling is therefore, critical. In view of this, training course on Post-harvest Technology and Processing of Agricultural Crops to train senior officers from various national grains and fruits agencies, research centers and cooperatives involved in post-harvest activities, is planned. The goal of the training course is basically to develop awareness the region s post-harvest and processing technologies of agricultural crops on grains and fruits. 2. Course Objectives (1) To share each country s experience/status on post-harvest and processing technologies of agricultural crops. (2) To create awareness of the post-harvest process and problems. (3) Up-date technical information on post-harvest handling aspects and processing technology through field visits, practical and lectures. The goal of the course is to develop awareness of post-harvest technology and processing of agricultural crops especially grains and fruits. 1

3 3. Course Content The training schedule is planned so as to touch on all aspects of the post-harvest system from harvest to market and some processing technology of agricultural crops as follows. -General situation -Harvesting and threshing -Drying -Rice milling -Quality control and Inspection of grain -Grain storage -By-product utilization -Rice processing -Soybean and mungbean processing -Some selected tropical fruit processing technology 4. Duration Duration of the course will be 3 weeks from 14 November to 4 December All the participants are requested to arrive on 14 November 2010 and leave on 4 December Language The course will be conducted in English. 6.
