Advances in intelligent detection, monitoring, and control for preserving the quality of fresh fruits and vegetables in the supply chain

The raw materials and information sharing of global fresh produce supply chains is happening every day, with the same time, losses of spoiled fruits and vegetables also exist, too. Most of the existing strategies have been successfully used in stop-loss practices such as refrigeration, atmosphere control and coating. They have achieved significant benefits but lack initiative. In this review, we sorted out and compiled data-driven networks and technical equipment reports, like emerging sensors, smart indicators and computer vision, etc. In addition, we also give suggestions on the system improvements of fruit and vegetable supply chain, including better applying cloud processing platforms such as IoT and blockchain to the supply chain. Finally, among the recommendations given, we highlight the importance of fencing strategies and real-time data management.
