Horticulture has an important role in economic growth and can increase the income of producers of fruits and vegetables in East Java, this can increase adequate employment opportunities in rural areas and increase non-oil exports. The development of horticulture is expected to have great opportunities, because this is done on the basis of comparative advantage in the production of fruits and vegetables so as to create opportunities for foreign and domestic markets. From the prospect of horticultural agribusiness marketing, it has a competitive advantage, which is to meet the demands of local consumers, consumers from other islands and foreign consumers.

Developments in the fruit and vegetable sector play an important role in Indonesia's economic growth, one of which is in the East Java region. With this development it helps create jobs. East Java has great potential and is a major supplier of food crops, animal and horticultural needs compared to other regions in Indonesia. Therefore East Java has a higher comparative advantage because the area of East Java has adaptive climatic, soil, and topophographical conditions. For example, in Malang, Pacet, Pasuruan, Probolinggo, Kediri, and Lumajang, which have areas suitable for the development of fruits and vegetables. Supply Chain is a further integration of logistics management between the companies involved which has the aim of increasing the flow of goods, increasing the accuracy of demand forecasts, increasing the efficiency of the use of space, vehicles and other facilities, reducing inventory levels, reducing costs, and improving other services. Supply Chain also involves an ongoing relationship regarding existing goods, money and information. Horizontally there are 5 components or main actors in the Supply Chain, namely suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and customers. Apart from horizontally, as for vertically, namely the maker, buyer,carrier, storage and seller.

Fruits & vegetables (F&V) crops being high value crops are important in raising the incomes of the farmers besides creating employment opportunities. Fruits and vegetables sector in India has gained its credibility for providing sustainable income, nutritional security and for providing employment opportunities, both in rural and urban areas. India is the second largest food producer in the world, after china and one of the centers of origin of fruits and vegetables with the total production. Various high temperate fruits and vegetables like apples, oranges, pears, peaches, litchis, plums, tomato, green leafy vegetables etc. are widely grown in Himalayas and tarai region of Uttarakhand and are important to the large food processing industry. Fruits and vegetables is one of the most significant and thrust sector of the economy of Uttarakhand state. The entire supply chain of fruits and vegetables in Uttarakhand is laden with the various issues which resulting to poor price realization of growers on one hand and exorbitant prices paid by consumers on the other. Highly inefficient supply chain and cold chain infrastructure is the major impediment in the path of speedy growth of F&V production sector in Uttarakhand. The present study undertakes a thorough review of basic and contemporary literature available and discussed the issues and challenges related to supply chain of fruits and vegetables sector in state of Uttarakhand, India and suggested the corresponding mitigation strategies. As Uttarakhand economy is based on agriculture, there is a need to develop efficient supply chain which may play an important role in increasing the shelf life of the F&V and in turn reduce the losses and wastage in fruits and vegetables, increase in farmer income, generate employments opportunities for the local peoples, and improve the livelihood of the farmers which leads to the development of Uttarakhand and Indian economy as a whole.

This study estimated indicators of fruit and vegetable intake by Brazilian adults and examined the influence of demographic and socioeconomic variables on the consumption of these foods. We used the following indicators: daily fruit intake, daily vegetable intake, and daily consumption of five or more servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Only 41.0% of adults reported daily fruit intake, while 30.0% reported daily vegetable intake. Fruit and vegetable intake was more common in urban as compared to rural areas and increased in both genders with age, schooling, and number of household goods. We conclude that initiatives to promote fruit and vegetable consumption are necessary for the country as a whole, but special attention should be given to younger individuals, males, rural communities, and groups with less schooling and lower income.

Population growth and improved public awareness of health have resulted in an increase in the demand for fruits and vegetables from year to year, both in quality and quantity. East Java has a bigger potential in agriculture and has become the main supplier of the needs of food crops, animal sources, and horticulture than many other areas in Indonesia. Vegetable commodities zoning is found based on altitude and divided into 3 areas: highland, lowland and medium land.This research is a qualitative descriptive research which analyzes the existing condition of value chain of fruits and vegetables in East Java from the field of economics. This qualitative research is intended to investigate and understand the phenomenon occurring in fruit and vegetable value chain in East Java, why and how it happens.

AbstractObjectiveTo examine intakes and variety of fruit and vegetables consumed by Australian young adults, also assessing differences by meal occasion and sociodemographic characteristics.DesignSecondary analysis of cross-sectional 24 h recall data collected through the 2011–12 National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey. Crude means and proportions consuming fruits and vegetables were calculated. Pearsonχ2tests, Kruskal–Wallis analyses and linear regression models were used to assess differences in mean intakes by age, BMI and sociodemographic variables. The variety eaten was determined based on the number of fruit and vegetable subgroups consumed.SettingRepresentative sample of metropolitan and rural areas across Australia.SubjectsRespondents aged 18–34 years were included (n2397).ResultsMean daily intake of fruit (128 g/0·9 servings) and vegetables (205 g/2·7 servings) was lower than the minimum recommended intake set at 2 and 5 servings, respectively. Age was positively associated with fruit and vegetable intake (P=0·002,P<0·001), with 18–24-year-olds reporting the poorest vegetable variety compared with 25–29- and 30–34-year-olds (P=0·002). When controlling for total energy, males consumed less vegetables than females (P=0·002). A large proportion of the 15 % of respondents who consumed adequate amounts of fruits and vegetables on the day prior to the survey reported intake across all meal occasions (P<0·001).ConclusionsFruit and vegetable intake is suboptimal among Australian young adults. An age-appropriate campaign is recommended to target increased consumption, particularly for those aged 18–24 years, with opportunity to promote increased variety and consumption across the day.

Abstract Despite of reduction of its share on the gross domestic product, agriculture remains a branch generating job opportunities in rural areas. However, through more intensive farming procedures, it puts a pressure on environment and sustainability of agricultural production and prolongs the distance of distributed goods. Reduction of the mentioned impacts is possible through shortening the food supply chain subsequently resulting in increase of local sale, demand for local services and increase of labour market, putting an emphasis on support of small and medium – sized enterprises and their economic viability improvement. This paper evaluates the performance of small and medium enterprises and micro-enterprises which applied for the support and supplied and distributed fruits, vegetables, milk and milk products to kindergartens and primary schools within the School Fruits and Vegetables and the School Milk programme. We suppose that through supplying local schools they contributed to the food supply chain shortening.

Apart from the major health impact, Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) has impacted almost all sectors across the world. One of them is food, Fruit and Vegetable Markets (FVM). Lockdown implementation had different impacts in different countries, like Canada and the United Kingdom (UK) where they have logistics and supply chain of food, fruits and vegetable items and noted a shift in supply from food service to the retail channel, although the fresh food supply remains unaffected. A similar trend was seen in the metro cities of India, where online shopping has increased. In the food supply sector, both retailers and farmers had to face difficulty in storing, transporting, and selling of the goods and had to bear losses due to increased wastage. Although with an increased demand, organic farming has increased but still increased expenditure, less yield, and selling of the products are the major challenges in front of them. Food, fruit and vegetable wastes have considerably reduced at the food supply due to the obvious impact of lockdown on food supplies, however, a shortage of cold storages and supply chain at the farmer level in developing countries has resulted in more wastage. Developed countries reported increased illegal dumping of wastes in the rural areas and the stoppage of the recycling services due to the lockdown. Also, a shift in the habits of the consumer due to health and food-related issues has been seen throughout the world resulting in reduced waste generation at the consumer level. Despite all this, agricultural producer and the retail industry appears to be best placed to weather the storm. The major challenges related to the industry are sustainability in the food chain and maintaining smooth logistics and necessary precautionary measures in the event of health crises in the future.

According to the article, the demands for fruits and vegetables in Indonesia have increased from year to year, both in quality and quantity, However, these demands are not supported by the availability of supply of the products demanded. There are several factors that have caused this lack of supply, such as, during harvest time, there’ll be abundant products, which results in price falls, and many products still unsold and left rotting. This problem, are mainly caused by bad trade system and limited technology. Moreover, our trade system is still controlled by a handful of operators known as wholesalers who controls the prices of products. East java is a provincial area in Indonesia that has a bigger potential in Agriculture and Horticulture than many other areas in Indonesia. This advantage allowed us to think that east java has a competitive advantages when it comes to agriculture, that is, to meet the demand of local market, inter-island market, and export market.
