This book is a revised and expanded version of the book titled Postharvest Handling: A Systems Approach published in 1993. Following the publication of the first book, the application of systems thinking and a systems approach to postharvest handling of fruits and vegetables has generated enough interest to stimulate the emergence of a multidisciplinary group of scientists interested in the topic. The systems approach applied to the fresh fruit and vegetable supply chain treats it as a single entity focused on the delivery of quality desired by consumers. The entity consists of individual businesses that increase benefits because they share the same values and recognize the effects of cooperation for their individual trade reputation. Attributes such as trust and reputation improve the competitive position of the fresh fruit and vegetable industry relative to other segments of the food market.
