Pest Management in Food Systems: An Economic Perspective (2012, background): “(98) discuss differences in the causes of postharvest losses between developed and less-developed countries and explain the difficulties in estimating such losses on a large scale.”
Challenges in perishable food supply chains for sustainability management: A developing economy perspective (2020, background): “…et al., 2017), meat (Sgarbossa and Russo, 2017), fruit and vegetables (Raut, 2019), etc.; and consider specific issues like wastage (Balaji and Arshinder, 2016; Negi and Anand, 2016), logistics barriers (Raut and Gardas, 2018), PHL (Gardas et al., 2018; Hodges et al., 2011; Raut et al., 2018).”
Food Losses and Food Waste in China: A First Estimate (2014, background): “Being still a developing country and a vast country with huge west-east disparity, China suffers a lot in the post-harvest food losses as many other developing countries do, due to inadequate infrastructure, knowledge, and technology (Gustavsson et al. 2011; Parfitt et al. 2010; FAO 2012; UNEP 2012;”
The food waste hierarchy as a framework for the management of food surplus and food waste (2014, background): “The distribution of food losses and waste varies between developed and developing countries, and between rich and poor producers and consumers (Gustavsson et al., 2011; Hodges et al., 2010; Lundqvist et al., 2008).”
Plant pathogens, insect pests and weeds in a changing global climate: a review of approaches, challenges, research gaps, key studies and concepts (2012, background): “…on crop production has become an important issue (Ceccarelli et al. 2010; Eitzinger et al. 2010; Calanca et al. 2011), although there are other challenges (Barnes et al. 2010) such as the need to use food more efficiently through reducing post-harvest losses in the food chain (Hodges et al. 2011).”
Unpacking Postharvest Losses in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Meta-Analysis (2015, positive): “While considerable attention is directed toward increasing food production by 50–70% to meet this target, one important and complementary factor that is often forgotten is reducing food loss and food waste (Hodges, Buzby, & Bennett, 2011).”
Annona mucosa Jacq. (Annonaceae): A promising source of bioactive compounds against Sitophilus zeamais Mots. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) (2013, background): “In tropical countries, especially those with developing economies, post-harvest grain losses are very significant (Basavaraja et al., 2007; Hodges et al., 2010; Olayemi et al., 2012; Tefera, 2012).”
