**3. Conclusion**

Strawberry is a non-climacteric fruit whose fruit develops and matures through a succession of physiological and molecular resulting in significant changes in fruit size, colour, texture, flavour, and fragrance and there seem to be a variety of postharvest losses after harvesting. To minimise postharvest losses various techniques, must employ to preserve the fruit quality, firmness as well as extend the shelf life. Each

approach has benefits and drawbacks, and the use of one or more of these post-harvest procedures will be determined by the growing region's economic, technological, and social considerations. Farmers could reduce the decline in fruit quality as well as keep the freshness for longer by using proper postharvest methods.
