“…These are also one of the major components of the supply chain quality. Ding et al (2015) stated that farm production is dominated by limited households, and fresh food supply chains including large numbers of traders, small brokers and wholesalers, ensuring food safety along the food supply chain represents a major challenge. Handayati et al (2015) stated that the buyers of agri-fresh food produces are changing their manners to comprise additional ethical concerns in their choice.…”

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to deliver a structured literature review of existing literature on agri-fresh food supply chain quality (AFSCQ) over a period of 23 years (1994 to mid-2016) and provide a platform for practitioners and researchers trying to identify the existing state of work, gaps in current research, and future directions in the field of AFSCQ. Design/methodology/approach-The existing literature is classified on the basis of several classes like number of publications per year, journal-wise publications, studies across various countries, growth of empirical research, data analysis methods or tool used, issues related to supply chain quality as well as performance measurement (with respect to entity of analysis, level of analysis and element of exchange). Findings-Most of the research publications discuss issues in developed countries, while relatively lesser publications are available on issues in developing countries. Hence, larger opportunities in the field of AFSCQ are available in developing countries. Empirical research is also growing in the field of AFSCQ. Largely research publications make use of "case study" research approach and "statistical analysis" as a quantitative tool of research. The literature is also categorized under the various issues of supply chain quality such as sustainability management, information management, logistic management, collaboration and coordination management, strategic management, demand management, inventory management, food safety, performance management, supply chain integration, supplier management, quality management, etc. It was found that in the majority of articles, information management, sustainability management, and logistics management are very critical issues as far as AFSCQ is concerned. Performance measurement of agri-fresh food supply chain is also on a growing stage. It is also an integral part of AFSCQ. Originality/value-Most of the prior reviews are concentrated on a particular issue as production and distribution planning for agri-foods, temperature monitoring, corporate and consumer social responsibility, traceability system and ignore the wider perception. There exists a necessity of having a detailed review to cover up all the issues in AFSCQ. This review fills this gap in the extant AFSCQ literature.

“…The term of farm bases (calledsheng-chan-ji-di or ji-di in Chinese) has been widely used in both scholarly documents and public narratives about agribusiness in China but is often vaguely defined. A farm base is considered here as a special form of organizing production and farm management within an identifiable and potentially traceable location, typically a village or contiguous group of villages (Ding et al, 2015). It can be managed by either the villagers themselves in an out-grower scheme or by outside firms using wage labor or sub-leasing contracts.…”

“…A handful of international and domestic entities participated as "pioneer enterprises" in the initial pilot stage of the program. Nevertheless, a recent study of the farm bases that supply fresh fruits and vegetables to a supermarket chain show that the formation of farm bases seems to present significant heterogeneity in strengthening traceability (Ding et al, 2015). Fan et al, 2009;Li et al, 2010;Jin and Zhou, 2011;and authors' interviews A myriad of studies has investigated the benefits of various certification schemes in developing and emerging countries.…”

Doing but not knowing: how apple farmers comply with standards in China

Are public and private standards affecting farmer knowledge and moving farm practices toward food safety and environmental sustainability in China? We surveyed a total of 355 apple farmers, involved in chains supplying a diversity of retailing points, including supermarkets. Using a multivariate regression model, we find no measurable evidence that the certification schemes of farm bases and agribusiness companies lead to improved apple growers' knowledge regarding pest and disease management. The behavioral changes were mainly prompted by delegated decision-making towards farm bases, which raises questions on the long-term changes in farmers' practices.

“…However, the 2015 FSL may stimulate and create innovative approaches. Ding et al (2015) presents a study, which is briefly introduced below and could serve as a new model of government-private partnership to improve food safety and traceability. In recent years, the government has invested considerable resources to establish the so-called production base (PB) and direct farm (DF).…”

“…The Ministry of Agriculture of China (MOA) and Ministry of Commerce of China (MOC) launched a major government sponsored direct farm program in 2008, which created a directly link to supermarkets with producers of PBs in order to promote the standardization of food production, the efficiency of farm operations, and traceability through the food supply chain. From a survey of 35 DF production bases in 2012, Ding et al (2015) concluded that the potential to improve product traceability and marketing arrangements for food safety is high.…”
