Abstract(s)
Os mercados de alimentos assumem-se como o principal polo de comercialização de produtos agrícolas nacionais a preços acessíveis em Luanda. Por isso, são a opção da maioria famílias luandenses, já que os preços dos produtos agrícolas no retalho moderno, nomeadamente nos supermercados chegam a custar 11 vezes mais, dependo da sua localização e, as hortofrutícolas mais consumidas como é caso do tomate, chegam a custar quatro a seis vezes mais nos supermercados do que nos mercados informais.
Pretendeu-se avaliar a cadeia/fileira de abastecimento do tomate, desde a produção, município da Cela, comuna do Waku Kungo, até à sua venda, em contexto urbano Luanda, Angola, em particular no mercado Catintom, dando-se destaque à análise da produção de perdas ao longo da cadeia/fileira de abastecimento e de estratégias para a sua mitigação.
Para o efeito, recorreu-se à metodologia qualitativa, entrevistando-se individualmente os atores-chave que atuam na cadeia/fileira do tomate mediante guião préestabelecido: i) produtores de tomate da comuna do Waku Kungo, ii) transportadores, iii) intermediários, iv) vendedoras e vi) clientes/consumidores do mercado do Catintom,
dando-se destaque à análise da produção de perdas do tomate ao longo da cadeia/fileira de abastecimento e correspondentes estratégias para a sua mitigação desenvolvidas pelos atores supra citados.
Da análise das entrevistas, recorrendo-se à análise temática, constata-se que os produtores, transportadores e intermediários tem práticas essências para evitar as perdas. A vendedoras têm práticas de reutilização das sobras para mitigar a perdas. E as clientes têm praticas próprias de acondicionamento e transporte do tomate para evitar as perdas após a compra.
Conclui-se que os produtores a montante e vendedores a jusante da cadeia/fileira alimentar, procuram evitar perdas ao longo da cadeia/fileira de abastecimento de tomate por uma questão económica ou seja para cumprir o ODS 1 irradicação da pobreza e não para cumprir o ODS 12 produção e consumo sustentável.
Food markets are the main hub for selling national agricultural products at affordable prices in Luanda. Therefore, they are the option for the majority of families in Luanda, since the prices of agricultural products in modern retail, particularly in supermarkets, can cost up to 11 times more, depending on their location, and the most consumed fruit and vegetables, such as tomatoes, reach cost four to six times more in supermarkets than in informal markets. The aim was to evaluate the tomato supply chain/line, from production, in the municipality of Cela, Waku Kungo commune, to its sale, in the urban context of Luanda, Angola, in particular in the Catintom market, with emphasis on the analysis the production of losses along the supply chain/queue and strategies for mitigating them. For this purpose, the qualitative methodology was used, interviewing individually the key actors who work in the tomato chain/chain according to a pre-established script: i) tomato producers from the commune of Waku Kungo, ii) transporters, iii) intermediaries, iv) sellers and vi) customers/consumers of the Catintom market, highlighting the analysis of the production of tomato losses along the supply chain/chain and corresponding strategies for its mitigation developed by the actors mentioned above. From the analysis of the interviews, resorting to thematic analysis, it is found that producers, transporters and intermediaries have essential practices to avoid losses. The sellers have practices of reusing leftovers to mitigate losses. And customers have their own practices for packaging and transporting tomatoes to avoid losses after purchase. From the interviews carried out, it appears that producers, transporters and intermediaries have essential practices to avoid losses. Sellers have practices for reusing leftovers to mitigate losses. And customers have their own practices for packaging and transporting tomatoes to avoid losses after purchase. It is concluded that producers upstream and sellers downstream of the food chain/queue seek to avoid losses along the tomato supply chain/queue for economic reasons, that is, to comply with SDG 1, the eradication of poverty, and not to comply with the SDG 12 sustainable production and consumption.
