while 18 percent use a closed shed, 15 percent use either frozen storage facilities or a sealed warehouse, and 10 percent use chilled storage facilities. Chilled or frozen storage facilities are used by about 11 percent of the processors, though more often by large processors (25 percent) and mixed fruit and vegetable processors (25 percent). Chilled and frozen storage are also more common in the South (17 percent) than in the North (3 percent). The average storage capacity of processors was 222 tons, ranging from 42 tons among small processors to 427 tons among large processors. The vast majority of the storage facilities used by processors (97 percent) are owned by the processor, and a similar share (98 percent) are for exclusive use by that processor rather than being shared. Only 5 respondents indicated that they shared storage facilities. The majority of processors (97 percent) were satisfied with the amount of storage space they had. The average storage quantity for processed produce was 36.3 tons, with a maximum of 57 tons. The average quantity stored ranged between 75 tons for large processors down to 6.3 tons for small processors. Storage losses appear to be quite modest. Processors reported only a 0.51 percent loss in quantity and a 1.5 percent loss in quality. The loss in quantity and quality did not vary substantially across processor size and type. The most common cause of loss in quantity in stored produce was humidity and rodents (36 and 33 percent of respondents respectively). The most common cause of loss in quality in stored produce was humidity and transport related problems (63 and 22 percent of respondents). As a result of the very low losses in storage, the majority of processors (77 percent of respondents) take no action to reduce storage losses (see Table 5-26). 8.2 Marketing channels Processors can make sales of products through a number of different channels, both domestically and on the export market. Small processors sell primarily to supermarkets (79 percent), while medium-sized processors sell to supermarkets (38 percent) and exporters (37 percent). Large processors sell to exporters (32 percent) and export directly (44 percent). Overall, somewhat more than half of the sales of the fruit and vegetable processors surveyed were for export, either directly or through exporters. Southern processors and vegetable processors were more export oriented than others. Vegetable processors were more likely to export through an exporter, while fruit processors were more likely to export directly. This may reflect the larger size of the average fruit processors compared to vegetable processors. Products with the longest average transportation distance are juice (594 km) and died products (684 km). Around 58 percent (139) of the processors exported products, either directly or through selling to exporters or dealing with licensed exporters or agents. Of the processors exporting products, less than a quarter (36) of the processors were involved in directly selling the products for Chapter 5 Fruit and Vegetable Processors Page 5-14
export themselves. Small and medium-sized processors sold to exporters, while larger processors exported directly. The export channels for processors in the North and South were similar (see Table 5-27). Processors exporting directly had an average of 4 foreign customers. The main methods of meeting foreign customers were through a relative or friend or during previous work experience with a state-owned enterprise. In addition, large processors made contacts at trade exhibitions. All of the processors who exported directly were aware of the country of destination of their exports, However, none of the processors who exported through other channels (either selling to exporters or through dealing with export agencies) had any knowledge of what the country of destination of their products was. Among those processors that could name the destination of their exports, the most commonly cited countries were Taiwan, Japan and China, accounting for around 50 percent of total. China is more important destination for exports from medium processors, and Japan and Taiwan being relatively more important for large processors. 8.3 Transportation Of the 241 processors in the survey, 214 respondents, or 89 percent, said that they use some form of transport to buy and sell fruits and vegetables. Although the majority of processors use some form of transportation in buying and selling fruits and vegetables, large processors of fruit are more likely to use transportation than small processors of vegetables. The most common forms of transport were truck, van or minivan, boat and motorbikes (36, 18, 10 and 10 percent of respondents respectively). Small processors mainly used vans or minivans (30 percent of respondents) and motorbikes (19 percent). In contrast, medium-size and large processors mainly used trucks (42 percent and 48 percent, respectively). Nearly all processors rent some form of transport (93 percent of respondents) and this is consistent across all types of processor and across all business sizes. Trucks were the most common form of rented transport (50 percent of respondents) followed by vans and minivans (22 percent) and cars (11 percent). Over one-third of the processors (36 percent) indicated that they had experienced transport restrictions of some form. These restrictions were mainly targeted towards larger processors, perhaps due to their size making them more readily identifiable. Forty-four percent of medium and large processors experienced some form of restrictions compared with 20 percent of small processors. Processors were asked to identify the two most important restrictions that negatively affected their business. The half the respondents (50 percent) indicated that police conduct was the most important restriction while inter-province blocks were cited by 24 percent and tolls by 15 percent (see Table 5- 28).
