How To Harvest,Cure and Pack onions in Mangola Tanzania

In this video, I take you through how to harvest, cure, and store onions successfully in Mang’ola, Tanzania, so you can reduce losses and boost profits.  I show when your onions are ready — like when tops naturally fall over and the neck feels soft — and how to carefully lift them to avoid bruising. Then, you'll see how to windrow and dry bulbs under shade for 2–10 days until the skins become papery. You’ll learn how to trim stems and roots correctly, and tips for post‑harvest curing in warm, ventilated sheds. I also share simple storage solutions like hanging onions in mesh or net bags, avoiding ethylene-rich fruits, and choosing the right varieties that store well. You’ll learn why poor storage means big losses—sometimes up to 50%—and how proper curing can help you store onions safely for 5–8 months. Whether you're growing on sacks or open beds, this guide blends local Tanzanian conditions and tried‑and‑tested techniques for long shelf life and strong market sales. Perfect for onion growers in Mang’ola, Arusha region, or anywhere in Tanzania.
