Type: article

Abstract: Tamarind is a vital crop with economic and nutritional significance. However, significant post-harvest losses occur due to inefficient handling, transportation, and storage affecting food security and farmers' economic stability. This study aims to estimate Post Harvest Losses in tamarind at different market levels - farm, wholesale, and retail—through a structured sampling approach.and identify key areas for improvement. The study was conducted in Anantapur district, covering multiple villages, wholesale markets, and retail outlets. The findings reveal significant losses, particularly at the farm level totaling 1,897.6 kg, which accounts for 27.9% of total production., necessitating interventions for loss reduction.
