Post-harvest Management<br />

<strong>Chive</strong> is a highly perishable crop and should therefore reach the market within 24 hours of harvesting. If<br />

refrigerated conditions are available, this can extend to 48 hours. Storing at 0-1 o C at 95-100% relative<br />

humidity can extend the shelf life of chives for 7-14 days.<br />
