Unpacking Postharvest Losses in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Meta-Analysis (2015, unknown): “It is suggested that about one third of the food produced globally is lost or wasted (FAO–World Bank, 2010; Prusky, 2011), representing a loss of 1.3 billion tons of food per year in a world where over 870 million people go hungry (Gustavsson, Cederberg, Sonesson, van Otterdijk, & Meybeck, 2011).”
Determination of bruise susceptibility of pears (Ankara variety) to impact load by means of FEM-based explicit dynamics simulation (2017, background): “…harvest, transportation and post-harvest operations and the fruit industry suffers considerable economic losses due to this type of mechanical damage (García et al., 1995; Van Zeebroeck et al., 2003, 2007; Berardinelli et al., 2005; Prusky, 2011; Abedi and Ahmadi, 2013a; Komarnicki et al., 2016).”
