Question

From the four key features that characterizes the agricultural markets, what do you think is the most observed characteristic in a vegetable value chain. Discuss why.

Answer 1

From the features that characterize the agricultural market, Food and Agriculture of the United Nations (2018) indicates that the most observed characteristic in vegetable value chain is the perishable feature. The aforementioned is true because agriculture products perish within a short timeline. Perishable products in this perspective are any fresh fruit or vegetable, frozen or packed ice (Food and Agriculture of the United Nations, 2018). Their durability is risky because proper management of storage, distribution and movement is needed to avoid possible losses.
