Onion (Allium cepa L.) is one of the oldest known bulb plants and is widely used worldwide. It is one of the best-selling vegetable plants in India and is thought to have originated in Central Asia. It is known for its unique spicy taste and is an important part of many traditional dishes. Onions dominate the top of the kitchen. Postharvest losses are caused by improper postharvest handling procedures for crops, including inappropriate harvesting methods, sorting, curing, packaging, and inadequate storage facilities. Despite recent advances in production technology, post-harvest losses continue to be a major problem due to a lack of scientific knowledge. As a review conclusion, an effort was put forth in this paper to gather information about the essential components of harvesting, healing, sorting and storage of onions.
