Speakers at a workshop on Monday stated that improper post-harvest management, non-professional agricultural methods, and a lack of sufficient equipment for correctly packing fruits and vegetables cost horticultural farmers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa a lot of money every year. For the first time in Pakistan, they launched the groundbreaking zero-energy cool chamber (ZECC) technology to address this important issue.


According to The News, the workshop was held by the Nuclear Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA) with the goal of establishing a connection between NIFA scientists, horticulturists from the provincial Agricultural Department, and progressive fruit farmers from across the province.

The workshop was attended by officials from the Department of Agriculture Extension Wing, farmers, and students from several universities from Peshawar, Nowshera, and Charsadda districts.


Director NIFA Dr Gul Sanat Shah spoke at the event, highlighting the significance of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) in the country’s food security and agriculture, with special emphasis on NIFA’s exceptional scientific contributions and achievements. He praised the experts for their thorough and meritorious efforts in creating a new technology, which was the first of its kind in Pakistan.

Fruit growers were asked to employ zero-energy cool chamber technology for fruit and vegetable storage, according to the director. He guaranteed the growers that they would receive on-the-ground expert assistance for any challenges they encountered throughout the development cycle.


It’s worth noting that PAEC scientists at NIFA Peshawar have created a new cost-effective ZECC technology to reduce post-harvest handling of fruits and vegetables for the first time in Pakistan.
