Between March 2017 and April 2017, ICEADR Institute conducted a survey among the Romanian fruit producers, in order to identify the problems they face and to highlight their opinions. The survey's results were used to find solutions for an efficient exploitation of fruits’ production....

The fruit production is a competitive and dynamic sector with many uncertainties coming from fruit biology, diseases and pests that attack them, the climate change, the distribution market and the complexity of logistics activities. Post-harvest handling activities can considerably improve the...

The paper presents models for short chains of fruits, considering integration as the main mechanism of coordination agents' activities on the chain. The research answer the question how efficient are activities of fruits' chain in this particular form of integrated activities of collecting...

Among the main factors that accentuate the decline of the fruit sector are the downward trend in the area of the fruit farms, their aggravated degree of aging, and the existence of many extensive farms. In addition, a generally valid problem at the agricultural level is the weak interest of...

Domestic fruit supply stability is evaluated taking into consideration the dynamic interactions between production and consumption and testing the synchronization of the supply flow with the consumption demand. The statistical data series from the period 2002-2014 were used, and the forecast of...

The aim of the research is to investigate the network of local fruit and vegetable products from “farm to fork”, to uncover the hidden processes in traceability and to advise innovations in the retailing system to improve the competitiveness of the sector. Traceability is an ability to track...

Idle land remains to be an issue that warrants further investigation. This study aspires to unveil the economic potential of idle land which is cultivated with a combination of cash crops -- vegetables and fruits by young enterprising individuals. Linear programming is employed to derive optimal...

There is increasing recognition that firms, who engage in co-operative long-term partnerships, improve the operation of the supply chain as a whole for the mutual benefit of all parties involved. However researchers have suggested that the degree of partnership that develops between a buyer and...

The study focuses on the transport of vegetable and fruit produce from Mindanao, a major food producing area, to particular regions in Luzon and Visayas to meet increasing market demands. The estimated gravity model showed the key determinants of interregional trade. Economic growth in both...
