“…This is understandable because the farmers’ characteristics represent the quality of human capital. This finding fits studies showing that age and education have a positive impact on the farmer’s choice of market channels (Sahara et al , 2015; Slamet et al , 2017; Zhang et al , 2017). Simultaneously, the farmers’ characteristics encouraged farmers to access credit and utilise the telephone, except for adulthood.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the distribution channels of vegetable sectors in Indonesia, its economic impact on the performance of vegetable sales and the factors affecting marketing channels selected by producers. Design/methodology/approach The study employed qualitative and quantitative methods. A market survey was qualitatively conducted at producer, intermediary, wholesaler, hotel and food processing company as well as retailer levels. Producer survey was quantitatively conducted at the farm level, by interviewing 556 randomly selected farm households. Structural equation modelling was employed to accomplish the objectives of the study. Findings Marketing channels for vegetables in Indonesia was complex and relatively long. Farmers decided to select particular channels because of business circumstance and their knowledge. Distance and gentleman’s agreement with traders limited farmers to choose the desirable marketing channel. Marketing channels affect business performance in terms of high sales and profit. Research limitations/implications This study only pays attention to the supply side of vegetables. The effect of marketing channels also encumbers the consumers, which are beyond this study. Other studies are expected to highlight the consumer side. Originality/value This study focused on smallholder agribusiness players. This study uses two surveys as data sources: market survey and producer survey. The market survey serves as vital information to design producer surveys.

“…Modern marketing channels include supermarkets, hypermarkets and hospitality industries. Slamet et al (2017) find that when farmers have direct access to modern marketing channels, they got high prices. However, market share for the for fresh horticultural products in the supermarket is meagre and highly competitive.…”

“…SAHARA et al (2015) concluded that the supermarket chains pay better for highquality, evenly shaped, and colored products stored in plastic bags or boxes. SAHARA et al (2015), SLAMET et al (2017), andNEVEN et al (2009)opined that family farmers who supply to the supermarkets must use packages that provide better preservation, in addition to owning storage, packaging, and distribution infrastructure. BRANDÃO (2011) stated that one of the retailer chains demanded plastic packages from farmers, attempting to reduce contamination.…”

“…Family farmers who work in the fresh fruits and vegetables supply chains face the increasing demand of the modern supply chains regarding the flow of information among the agents. Thus, mobile phones and other communication services are vital for family farmers (SAHARA et al, 2015;SLAMET et al, 2017;DLAMINI-MAZIBUKO et al,2019).…”

Globally, increasing number of fruits and vegetables are being consumed to maintain healthy eating habits. Family farming plays a crucial role in fruits and vegetables production; products are marketed in supply chains, which are increasingly demanding, diversified, and complex. Participation of the family farms in each of these supply chains is subject to their ability to meet the increasingly strict participation criteria. In this context, this study identified the main factors that affect the participation of the family farmers in the supermarket supply chains for fresh fruits and vegetables. A systematic literature review was conducted, covering the period from 2005 to 2019. Results indicated eleven variables that affect the participation of the fruits and vegetables family farms in the supermarket supply chains. These variables were grouped in an analytical framework, which comprised four factors: characteristics of the producer, characteristics of the farm, institutional aspects, and available infrastructure. This framework is useful for the development and implementation of the public and private policies for successful participation of fruits and vegetables family farmers in supermarket supply chains.

“…Chromatographic and colourimetric analysis require laboratory support [17]. In situ and real-time methods of laser or sensor are also still ineffective to be applied in food stores or supermarkets that dominantly sell packaged foods [18,19]. ese kinds of foods require a direct indicator on the packaging that provides real-time food quality information.…”

Smart packaging is a packaging system with embedded sensor or indicator technology, which provides information on the quality of the product, especially perishable foods such as goat milk. One application of smart packaging is to use a time-temperature bioindicator. The purpose of this study was to determine the quality of fresh goat milk during storage at freezing temperatures (−20 ± 2°C) for 31 days and room temperature (25 ± 3°C) for 24 hours using a time-temperature indicator by utilizing a natural dye betacyanin. The method used was descriptive analysis, and the data obtained were processed using the correlation regression test. The samples were observed at freezing temperature every 24 hours and room temperature at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 24 hours. The observation criteria consisted of changes in bioindicator color, milk pH, and total microbes. The results showed that color changes of the bioindicator film at room temperature were more noticeable than at freezing temperature. Based on changes in color of the bioindicator at room temperature, the sample was safe for consumption until the 5th hour with pH 6.51, and the biofilm color characteristics were L∗ = 82.49, a∗ = 21.46, and b∗ = −7.33, but the total number of microbes did not fulfil Indonesian National Standard at the 24th hour, i.e., 1.36 × 106 CFU/ml. At freezing temperatures, fresh goat milk was still safe for consumption until the 31st day with pH 6.51 and total microbe of 1.89 × 105 CFU/ml, and the biofilm color characteristics were L∗ = 80.52, a∗ = 24.15, and b∗ = −7.91. The results of this study concluded that the milk expiration limit based on the betacyanin indicator was 5 hours at room temperature and 31 days at freezing temperature.
