摘要:水果全产业链损耗不仅浪费了食物,还意味着生产、收获后处理、贮藏、流转消费等各环节中水、耕地、能源等各种资源的浪费。本研究采用问卷调查和“一对一”访谈的方法,在苹果和柑桔主产区和主销区进行实地调研,调查分析水果全产业链(生产、收获后处理、贮藏、流转和消费)损耗现况,主产区累计调研全产业链从业者209人,主销区调研消费者271人。通过生态足迹、碳足迹和水足迹等模型对损耗浪费产生环境和资源影响进行定量评估。结果显示,苹果和柑桔损耗浪费率分别为18.56%和17.15%,其中流转环节占比最高,约为总损耗的1/3。损耗量分别为719.86×104 t和733.99×104 t,损耗总量为1453.85×104 t。苹果和柑桔损耗浪费的生态足迹分别为13.33×104 hm2和13.76×104 hm2,总生态足迹为26.09×104 hm2;碳足迹分别为92.37×104 t(CO2 eq)和102.98×104 t(CO2 eq),碳足迹总量为195.35×104 t(CO2 eq);水足迹分别为57.65×108 m3和41.10×108 m3,水足迹总量为98.75×108 m3。其中生产环节碳排放占比最高,占总排放的9成以上。综上,水果损耗和浪费也产生了巨大环境影响,需要尽快采取相关措施,减损降耗,从而减轻环境资源压力,提高水果供给水平。

Abstract:In recent years, food waste has become a global research topic, and fruit loss and waste is an important component of food waste. From the place of origin to the table, fruit waste occurs during picking, post-harvest processing, storage, circulation, consumption, and other stages with varying degrees of loss. Therefore, it is necessary to study the loss and waste of the whole fruit industry in China and to analyze the impact of its resources on the environment. The purpose of this study is to provide data to reduce the loss and waste of fruit and improve the utilization efficiency of ecological resources. Using apples and citrus as examples, this study investigated all of the links in the whole fruit industry chain via questionnaires and field visits. The total amount of loss and waste was estimated, including the ecological, carbon, and water footprints using key parameters, such as greenhouse gas emissions and water waste. A field survey was conducted in the main fruit marketing area to investigate and analyze the loss and waste of fruit during production, post-harvest treatment, storage, circulation, and consumption. This included 209 workers in the entire industrial chain in the main producing area and 271 consumers in the main selling area. The results showed that the wastage rates of apples and citrus were 18.56% and 17.15%, respectively, among which the wastage rate of the circulation link was the highest, accounting for approximately one-third of the total wastage. The wastage for apples and citrus were 719.86×104 t and 733.99×104 t, respectively, for a total loss of 1453.85×104 t. The ecological footprint of apple and citrus wastage was 13.33×104 hm2 and 13.76×104 hm2, respectively, and the total ecological footprint was 26.09×104 hm2. The carbon footprint was 92.37×104 t (CO2 eq) and 102.98×104 t (CO2 eq), respectively, and the total carbon footprint was 195.35×104 t (CO2 eq). The water footprint was 57.65×108 m3 and 41.10×108 m3, respectively, and the total water footprint was 98.75×108 m3. During circulation, jolting, bumping, and squeezing could damage the fruit, resulting in loss; the highest in the entire supply chain. Bumps and squeezes during transportation were the main reasons for loss. Improper selection and temperature control by consumers during sales also caused fruit spoilage. The highest carbon emissions from production accounted for more than 90% of the carbon footprint, mainly due to the application of pesticides and fertilizers. To reduce fruit loss and waste and to improve the utilization efficiency of resources, some measures could be taken, such as improving the mechanization and standardization of fruit production levels and reducing the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. In the circulation process, operators must keep the environment clean and tidy. Moreover, an entirely cold-chain process should be advocated, and waste should be opposed during consumption.
