Résumé

For horticultural products, significant losses occur within the cool chain as a result of the inability to predict the storage life of batches of product. These losses directly impact on the sustainability (metrics) of the remaining products that are required to absorb the inputs and disposal costs of the failed products. Finding solutions to predicting storage life has the potential to allow adaptation of FEFO inventory management strategies to the fresh produce industry, significantly reduce losses within the cool chain, and hence increase the sustainability of delivered products (on a per kilogram basis). A number of research groups have begun to attempt to predict storage life of batches of fresh products through a number of different research pathways. There is an opportunity to bring these researchers together and share insights in an international, non-competitive collaboration to share their research approaches and critical insights into sampling strategies, sample testing methods, cool chain monitoring technologies and predictive modelling without jeopardising any potentially commercially-sensitive specific crop information.
