The invention relates to a method for handling agricultural or horticultural products, for instance tomatoes or apples, wherein the products are transported in at least one reservoir (28) filled with water substantially at a transporting level (18) determined by the water surface in accordance with at least one transport path in the direction from a supply to a discharge (20). In order to reduce the required transporting space the method according to the invention has the feature that in order to buffer products the upper level of at least one product mass is carried by means of level adjusting buffering means (29) to a level other than the transporting level. The invention also relates to an apparatus for performing this method.
