Value in Fresh Produce
• Fresh• Nutritious• Clean & Safe• Minimal chemical Residue• Longer “Shelf life”• Availability• Cost
• Nutrient Management• Soil Management• Pest Management• Residue Management (Safety)• Harvesting process• Post Harvest Cooling (Expiry dates)• Correct Packaging• Proper Handling & Transport• Timely Distribution• Retail Storage
Buyers/ Consumers desires Value – Added Actions

Managing your Temperature controlled “Value-Chains”

“Essentials” in the Value-added Supply “pipeline”
Moving from processing and Storage facility to a Throughputfacility.
Providing Value-adding services eg. Maintaining shelf life, etc Managing throughput for continuity Managing information flow (more important than inventory
flow ie. doing things once). Reduce lead times and avoid “bottleneck” congestions Providing smooth “inter-change” in agri-food business Uses a distribution centre approach to the markets Managing information for forward planning

Value Added Agri-Food Supply

What “plagues” the Food Industry ?• Reliable Sources of Fresh Produce or raw materials for food products• Consistency of Supply• Raw Material “Postharvest” Practices• Cold Chain “Breaks”• Long Distances• Frequent transshipment “hubs”• Unnecessary handling and staging operations• “Breaks” in your “Value chain”
• Contamination & Cross-contamination (accidental or introduced)• Quality maintenance in Transit• Cost Issues• How “safe”...are the Supply Chains ?• Risk Management• Alternative Supply Chains & Emergency Procedures
Issues•Respiration•Temperature•Ethylene Production•Water Loss•Growth and Development•Mechanical Damage•Physiological Disorders•Pathological Breakdown•Stress

Tracking & Tracing in Supply Chains
• Flowcharting individual product’s Supply Chain operations• Real-time Inventory Tracking• “Worse case” scenario modeling• “Checks” at all possible “chokepoints”• Map sequenced actions in implementation• Have real-time “Track & Trace” monitoring with reporting• Institute corrective action instructions• Emergency action procedures
21
Summary
• Review Entire Supply Chain Operational Practices• Environmental Control in Supply Chain operations• Packaging & Packing (Selection & Practice)• Staging and Storage (Locations and Accessibility)• Transportation (Route Planning)• Staff Training (Supply Chain partners)• Tracking, Monitoring & Reporting• Damage Control & Correction• Managing Risks ?
