Waste of fruits and vegetables in retail: cause, destination and reduction strategies
To analyze the cause of, destination of and strategies used to reduce fruit and vegetable (FV) waste in establishments in a Brazilian metropolis. Cross-sectional design study was carried out in areas with and without public Food and Nutrition Public Establishment (FNPE) in the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Variables related to the cause of, destination of and strategies used to reduce the waste were investigated using Fisher's exact test and Holm-Bonferroni tests. More than half of the establishments reported the occurrence of waste of FV (55.4%), being higher in private specialized fresh food market indoor (55.7%) and FNPE (20.3%). The main causes were excessive handling by the consumer (30.1%), poor environmental conditions in the establishment (28.6%) and excessive purchase (15.0%). As for the destination, it was observed that the majority donated (46.2%) or disposal (36.8%). And the main strategies were stock control (40.4%) and the purchase of regional FV (37.6%). The occurrence of waste was high, mainly in private specialized fresh food market indoor and in FNPE, and the causes were related to the consumer and the establishment. Food waste donation and disposal were the main destinations. Stock control and purchase of regional FV were the main strategies.
