UNECE Code of Good Practice for Reducing Food Loss in Handling Fruit and Vegetables

The Code sets out measures to be taken at the various stages before fruit and vegetables reach the consumer, i.e. from harvest to retail. It encourages actors along the distribution chain to improve their logistics, handling and planning, both inside countries and across borders, and to measure food waste. It focuses on the three major segments of the fruit and vegetable supply chain – producers, traders and retailers.
