Item Metadata only An assessment of market opportunities for leafy vegetables in the upland areas of Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam: final report on output 1 of the project: RETA 6376 "Supporting pro-poor vegetable value chains in Greater Mekong Subregion countries”(AVRDC - The World Vegetable Centre, 2010) Genova, C.; Weinberger, K.; Acedo, A.Item Metadata only Quantifying postharvest loss in vegetables along the supply chain in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos(InderScience Publishers, 2008) Weinberger, K.; Genova, C.G.; Acedo, A.This study provides an overview of the postharvest loss situation of selected vegetable crops as perceived by the various supply chain actors in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. It investigates the volume and value of vegetable losses upstream along the supply chain, and identifies the main reasons and the preventive measures undertaken at each stage in the supply chain to abate postharvest losses. Loss estimates are compared by supply chain actor, country and crop. This study finds that the average loss of the selected vegetables is about 17%, and that farmers are the most vulnerable group compared to middlemen and retailers who both have more control on product prices. It recommends developing measures to contain disease problems for farmers, and improving marketing efficiency through standardisation of product quality for middlemen and retailers.Item Metadata only Understanding postharvest losses in vegetables using an upstream supply chain approach in South East Asia(Cuvillier Verlag Gottingen, 2007) Genova, C.; Weinberger, K.; Acedo, A.; International Research on Food Security, Natural Resource Management and Rural Development, Tropentag 2007 (9 Oct 2007 - 11 Oct 2007 : Göttingen, Germany); Tielkes, E.
