Fruit and vegetable wholesale companies work with fresh and perishable products every day, generating surplus that, although it can no longer be marketed, may still be suitable for human consumption. Proper management of this surplus is an opportunity to reduce food waste and improve the use of resources.
At Mercavalència, a technological solution has been developed to facilitate the management and recovery of food losses, improving communication among the stakeholders involved and supporting its channeling for donation or transformation.
The solution provides information on losses products, facilitates their management, and connects wholesalers with social organizations, contributing to better food redistribution and improving access to fresh products.
