Abstract
Value chains for perishable products, including fruits and vegetables, require an integrated
approach to cope with the challenges in producing sufficient food products in a resource-efficient
manner. Developing economies are increasingly investing in their potential of agricultural
production; however the absence of a sufficient and functioning infrastructure in the postharvest
chain results in large shares of harvested product being lost before reaching the consumer market.
This study provides clear analysis of the causes of these postharvest losses and suggests the
development of effective interventions that form the nucleus of the network of excellence in
support of chain actors to improve performance, increase efficiency and provide good quality
food products in local and global markets.
