Post-harvest waste, environmental problems and added value in the agro-industrial processing of tropical agricultural products in Latin American. A review

Abstract:

In this article we analyze the high level of post-harvest waste produced in Latin America along the production chain, most of them as a result to obtain the main product. Failure to eliminate or reduce wastes causes serious environmental, economic and social problems. We evaluate these losses, but transform waste in by-products could generate an important economic value impacting local economies, creating new entrepreneurship opportunities, employment and improving the economic level of local communities.
