Abstract

The search for healthier, better quality and more convenient food has shown a tendency to expand in supermarkets and in large urban centers. One of the factors that deserve to be highlighted is the lack of knowledge and planning of rural producers regarding the commercialization of their products in a more profitable way, a fact that causes a series of chain consequences, such as a lack of structure in the harvest and post-harvest, which generates impacts on the areas of storage, transportation, packaging, handling and processing of vegetables, thus triggering marketing difficulties such as reduced shelf life, poor quality, shortage of supply and high prices. The objective of this study was to evaluate the packaging of the main products marketed in CEASA (banana and citrus) stored in the CEASA of Palmas, collecting important information that allows to know the size of the consumer market of these products, as the main problems conditions, which can reduce waste and add value to fruits and vegetables.
