Abstract: This annotated bibliography of economic research publications (1970-82) on postharvest loss focuses on economic analyses and data for appraising many types of food product losses. It expands on earlier studies, including perishable commodities as well as grains, and covers both developed and developing nations. It uses an economic framework, based on the concept of consumer surplus, to evaluate producer and societal losses associated with food losses. The bibliography contains annotated references on general literature plus those on grains, cereals, and pulses; rapeseed and spices; sugar; miscellaneous specific vegetables; general fruits and vegetables; apples; berries; tropical fruit produce; citrus fruits; and miscellaneous specific fruits.
