AVRDC - The World Vegetable Center, in collaboration with national partners, aims to reach 200 trainers and ultimately 2,000 farmers per country with a training program designed to address fresh produce handling, drying, and processing of vegetables. For this purpose, an evaluation was carried out as a pilot training program conducted two years ago, and interviewed a random sample of previous trainees. Two years later, 60 percent of the respondents in Vietnam, 40 percent in Lao PDR, and 27 percent in Cambodia are still using one or more of the technologies taught during the training. Most popular are the technologies for fresh produce handling and sun-drying. Source: Postharvest Training for Supply Chain Actors in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam
