A Basis for the Reconsideration of Wastes and Losses in Food Marketing

Harry Sherr

Journal of Agricultural Economics Research, 1960, vol. 12, issue 02, 6

Abstract: Many studies have been made of wastes and losses in the marketing of food and of the possibility of their reduction. Some have focused on technological aspects, others on the failure to satisfy consumer needs. This paper uses a fresh approach by stressing the economic aspects of the problem the costs in basic production resources and alternative costs in marketing resources involved in reducing wastes and losses.
