“…Value-added practices are key to future of sustainable farming, because they enable growers to advance economically without having to "pump-up" the production of raw materials from the land. USDA defines value addition as a change in the physical state or form of the product (such as milling wheat into flour or making strawberries into jam) (Dalal et al, 2019).…”

“…The cultivars Umran, Kathapal, and Gola are the most promising ber varieties in North India. Ber is a fruit that is underutilized and only available for a limited time, while being well-known for its rich flavour and great nutritional value (Dalal et al, 2019). Ber (Zizyphus mauritiana Lamk) is one such fruit that has withstood such environmental conditions and is easy to cultivate.…”

Underutilized edible plants are those that are minor, neglected, local, orphan and promising species that are used as food, fodder and pharmaceuticals. The primary goals of processing under used fruit plants are to maintain nutritional content, decrease post-harvest loss, eliminate waste, reduce seasonality and improve quality. Thus keeping this in mind the present study, Aonla and ber fruits were used to developed various products i.e. pickle, chutney, churan, murabba, sharbat, candy and jam in the laboratory. The products of Aonla and Ber fruits were commonly consumed in the community were standardized in the laboratory using sensory evaluation technique. Results of the present study indicated that all the developed products ranged between "like moderately to like very much" on the organoleptic parameters judged on nine point hedonic ranking scale. The highest scored were achieved by murabba of aonla (8.7±0.35) and ber (8.8±0.29) as compared to other products. Hence, it can be concluded that value added and preserved products have excellent acceptability if consumed in a meal.

“…Value addition to products or services has several advantages including helping a company or a firm to attract more customers, which can boost revenue and profits (Kulshrestha, 2018;Mwagike & Mdoe, 2015). It is indeed an important strategy to demonstrate a difference between a product's price to consumers and the cost of producing it (Holz-Clause, 2009;Mwagike & Mdoe, 2015).Value addition and quality improvement of fruits and vegetables in this context refers to the process of changing or transforming fresh fruits and vegetables from their original state to a more valuable one (Dalal et al, 2019;Sharangi, 2019).…”

Despite the critical role played by intermediaries in value addition and quality improvement in the context of urban fresh fruits and vegetable supply chain, this same role has not been fully realised in the context of urban fruits and vegetable supply chain in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. This paper explores the intermediariesâ€™ role on value addition and quality improvement in the context of urban fresh fruits and vegetable (FFVs) supply chain in Dar es Salaam city to understand impediments to value addition and quality improvement. Qualitative approach was adopted and data were collected using documentary review, in-depth interviews, and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and non-participant observations based on the purposive sample size of 60 respondents. Thematic data analysis strategy was adopted and data were analysed using MAXQDA software. Findings showed that the intermediariesâ€™ inability to value addition and quality improvement for urban fresh fruits and vegetables were determined by a number of factors. The inability to facilitate packaging and packing was related to inadequate knowledge and awareness of packaging facilities, limited financial capital to buy modern packaging facilities and lack of quality and value assurance regulatory authorities. Impediments to branding and labelling rotated around inadequate branding and labelling technology and tools, inadequate knowledge and skills, financial difficulties by the intermediaries. Impediments to grading and sorting emanated from lack of proper grading and sorting tools and lack of knowledge and awareness on value addition and quality improvement. Impediments to collection were caused by lack of modern harvesting and collection tools, lack of modern storage facilities as well as climate changes and variation. Lastly, impediments to inspection and arrangement revolved around poor timing for conducting inspection, lack of enough fund to buy inspection tools and poor coordination of inspection. Strategies for overcoming the impediments include introduction and enforcement of relevant laws, regulatory mechanisms, appropriate policies and regulations that would effectively govern issues of fruits and vegetable value addition and quality improvement, sensitizing intermediaries on proper knowledge and skills, provision of financial assistance to intermediaries to facilitate packing and packaging of the FFV as well as improvement of marketing and selling strategies.
