“…Differentiating the good and bad practices in the tomato SC is essential to enhance the former and eradicate the latter. This can reduce the weight loss in tomatoes by nine-fold (Özdemir and Semizer, 2021). Lesser variety in customer choices, shorter lead time, effective marketing to trade defaced products and complementing channels in SC have proven to reduce food waste (Chaboud and Moustier, 2021).…”

PurposeThe paper aims to analyse the postharvest Supply Chain (SC) of tomatoes to maximise profit by restructuring the modes of operation.Design/methodology/approachSystem Dynamics-based simulation of four scenarios depicting different operational modes of postharvest food SC was employed. Real-time of Tamil Nadu state, India was used to enact the scenarios using Vensim.FindingsResults indicated that cold storage improved the profit of wholesalers by prolonging the shelf-life of commodities. Retailers and farmers gained more profit in the absence of wholesalers. Though the absence of middlemen reduces the transit time and prevents deterioration, the role of wholesalers, i.e. transporting the commodities to farther customers’ needs to be shouldered by other agents effectively to minimise losses.Research limitations/implicationsThe accuracy of the results depend on the exactness of the data collected. The simulation findings, on the other hand, could be helpful in decision-making as these models portray the actual operational modes of postharvest SC. The suitability of each network structure depends on the capabilities of the agents, market scenario and demography. Implications based on discussions with stakeholders and in terms of establishing dedicated societies (cooperatives) have been provided.Originality/valuePostharvest losses incurred for horticultural crops like tomatoes are significantly high. It is of much importance to India as agriculture contributes to 17% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and India is the second-largest producer of tomatoes globally. The study would shed light on restructuring the network appropriately.

Investigating the potential impacts of composting and recycling wastes on income distribution is crucial to promote a fairer and more sustainable fresh tomato supply chain (FTSC). Therefore, this study aims to explore the potential of generating extra income from recycling of tomatoes waste generated along the FTSC, and to analyze the impact of that extra income on reducing income inequality among the FTSC actors. Data were collected from 136 greenhouse tomato producers, 60 wholesalers, 18 exporters, 120 domestic retailers, 22 overseas retailers, and 3 recycling facilities in Türkiye. Marketing cost, absolute marketing margin, relative marketing margin and net profit margin were used to economically analyze the FTSCs. Research results showed that the net profit share of the producers decreased with the increasing number of intermediaries. Additionally, revenue generated from composting and recycling of product loss and wastes increased the welfare of greenhouse producers more than the other supply chain actors. When taking into account the revenue generated from composting and recycling of wastes, the net profit of the producers increased by 9.85% at first FTSC, while it increased by 8.29% and 9.21% in the second and third FTSCs, respectively, compared to the prevailing conditions. The retailers were benefitted more from the extra revenue generated via composting and recycling of wastes compared to the wholesalers and exporters. However, the income gain of the domestic retailers and wholesalers from recycling was more when compared to the overseas ones. Close cooperation between producers, wholesalers, exporters, retailers, and recycling facilities is essential for the effective implementation of waste recycling initiatives. Organizing training and education programs focused on waste management can increase the extra income that producers and active intermediaries in FTSCs can generate from composting and recycling of tomato wastes. Offering financial incentives, grants, or subsidies can encourage producers and other actors within the supply chain to adopt waste recycling practices. Continuous research and innovation are crucial in identifying and developing new technologies, processes, and strategies to minimize food loss and waste. Introducing fair-trade practices may help to balance the income distribution among FTSC actors.
