Abstract
The amount of fruit and vegetable byproducts produced from their production to consumption by consumers wascharacterized by focusing on the distribution route. The considered fruits and vegetables were divided into five groups:leafy vegetables, root vegetables, fruit vegetables, condiment vegetables, and fruits. The amount of their distribution wascalculated at each distribution stage of the overall distribution process. Byproducts of each group produced at individualdistribution channel was calculated using the basic unit obtained through field and literature surveys. It was also consideredthat the byproducts can be recovered. The byproducts produced for distributing leafy vegetables, root vegetables, fruitvegetables, condiment vegetables, and fruits were 509,379; 68,844; 151,189; 479,936; and 282,897 tons per year (t/y),respectively. The total recovery for the five groups was 1,492,245 t/d, corresponding to 13.48% of the total productionof the fruits and vegetables (11,067,638 t/d).
