Abstract
The study was carried out in the Muzaffarpur district of Bihar. In this study we will find the post-harvest losses in Litchi. Post-harvest lossesare one of the main reasons for the decreasing production of litchi. Litchi is very perishable fruit crop as its shelf life is about 3-4 days afterharvesting. In this study post-harvest losses were seen under 3 channels of marketing. Channel I consist have least no. of intermediaries(Producer- Consumer), channel II has Producer-wholesaler-retailer-consumer and Channel III have Producer-Village Trader- WholesalerRetailer.
