Shallot quality is still determined after harvest. Get to know the handling sequence in SNI 9289:2024.

Harvest is not the end of the work

BRMP Pascapanen explains that SNI 9289:2024 regulates the post-harvest process of shallots for consumption. The stages mentioned include curing, cutting, sorting, and transportation. The goal is to maintain shallot quality when moving from the field to the buyer.

What to pay attention to after the bulbs are lifted

Curing and drying help reduce moisture content. At the sorting stage, damaged bulbs are separated from the good ones. A dry, clean, and air-circulating storage place helps suppress damage.

The sequence is a general reference. The duration of the process depends on harvest conditions, intended use, and facilities. Seeds for replanting have different handling needs from consumption shallots. If you want to draft a farmer group procedure, read the original standard together with the agricultural extension officer.
