Abstract:

The large losses from farm to plate are attributed to poor handling, distribution, storage, and purchase consumption behaviour. Huge resources that could otherwise be spent on more productive activities go into producing and transporting goods that only go to waste. Losses at almost every stage of the food chain may be reduced by using appropriate packaging. Packaging is an essential part of a long-term incremental development process to reduce losses, that will have to employ a blend of technologies and processes (Olsmats and Wallteg, 2009). The global food packaging industry has a lot to contribute not only in addressing food losses but also in ensuring food safety as well as enhancing global food trade, which is a key to economic development of varying economies. This report briefly introduces the global packaging industry: its size, its structure, and its products. An overview is then provided of the status and trends of food packaging in developing countries, and a SWOT (strengths-weaknesses opportunities-threats) analysis is carried out. This information is required to arrive at the appropriate solutions for developing countries to address the constraints presently faced by the agroand food industry in meeting their packaging needs.
