摘要

减少粮食损失和浪费的努力最近受到了很多关注,因为它们对加强粮食安全和环境可持续性具有重要意义。农产品的增值是提高生产率、减少粮食损失、从而提高农业收入和改善经济的关键。在阿曼,农业被认为是生命的第一来源,枣被认为是最重要的永久种植作物之一。本研究旨在评估枣椰树产品的增值过程,并揭示与阿曼生产力提高相关的挑战。访问了6家著名的枣增值工厂进行数据收集。发现的枣增值产品最多的是枣仁、枣糖浆和枣膏,工业部门正在使用最受欢迎的枣品种Khalas和Fardh进行增值加工。生枣由三个农场类别提供,这些工厂的加工机械化程度为四种。评估了增值对财务生产力的改善。果仁枣的生产效率最高,在卡拉斯省可达540%,在法尔德省可达360%。生产率高的工厂机械化水平高(ML3-4)。更广泛地改进增值工业对提高生产率至关重要。这包括增加中小型企业的数量,提高机械化水平,技术转让和能力建设需求,此外还包括提高增值产品的质量,这将对农业收入和国家经济产生积极影响。

Prospects and challenges of date fruit value-addition in Oman
Food loss and waste reduction efforts have received a lot of attention recently because of their importance in enhanc-ing food security and environmental sustainability. Value addition of agricultural products is the key to a higher production rate, fewer food losses, and hence more farm income and a better economy. In Oman, agriculture is represented as the first source of life and date is considered one of the most important permanent cultivated crops. This study aimed to evaluate the value addition process of the date palm products and reveal the challenges associated with the productivity improvement in Oman. Six prominent date value-addition factories were visited for data collection. The most date value-added products found were date with nuts, date syrup, and paste, and industries are using most popular date varieties Khalas and Fardh for the value addition processes. Raw dates are supplied by three farm catego-ries and four process mechanization levels were found in these factories. The financial productivity improvement due to the value addition were evaluated. Date with nuts found to be with the highest productivity ratio that reaching up to 540% in Khalas and 360% in Fardh. Highly productive factories had high mechanization levels (ML3–4). A broader improvement in value addition industry is essential to improve the productivities. This includes increase in number of small and medium enterprises, improve mechanization levels, technology transfer, and capacity building needs and additionally to improve the quality of value-added products which will positively affect the farm income and country’s economy.
