| Özet |
| A fruit and vegetable supply chain refers to the network of activities involved in producing, processing, distributing, and consuming a particular fruit crop, starting from the farm’s production to the final consumer. It includes all the stakeholders, activities, and resources involved in the production process, such as farmers, input suppliers, processors, wholesalers, retailers, and logistics providers. The supply chain also includes the technologies, infrastructure, and institutions that support producing, transporting, and distributing the produce. The core objective of a supply chain is to ensure that the correct quantity and quality of the crop is produced and delivered to the market at the right time, with minimum waste and optimizing profits for all stakeholders of the entire supply chain. Effective supply chain management involves coordination, collaboration, and communication among all players while adopting the best production, processing, and distribution practices. Mango (Mangifera indica) is an important tropical fruit crop grown in more than 85 countries, distributed, and consumed worldwide. The supply chain for mango fruit is a complex and dynamic network of actors and activities that involves the production, processing, transportation, and distribution of mangoes and their products from the orchard to the consumer (Adjanahoun, 2011). The supply and value chain for mangoes is an essential component of many agricultural economies, playing a vital role in providing income and employment opportunities to farmers, processors, traders, and other stakeholders along the whole supply chain. The mango supply chain faces several challenges, including higher perishability, seasonality, market access, quality, and safety issues, and a lack of infrastructure and technology. The success of the mango fruit supply chain depends on effective coordination, collaboration, and the adoption of best practices and technologies for production, processing, and distribution. This chapter provides an overview of the critical issues and challenges in the mango fruit supply chain, potential solutions, and recommendations for improving the efficiency of the supply chain. |
