UN 2021 International Year of Fruits and Vegetables

The UN General Assembly designated 2021 the International Year of Fruits and Vegetables (IYFV). IYFV2021 is an opportunity to raise awareness of the important role of fruits and vegetables.

2021 is the UN-designated International Year of Fruits and Vegetables, in recognition of the important role of fruits and vegetables in human nutrition, food security and health as well as in achieving UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Every year, millions of tons of these perishable items are transported across the globe from farm to table, often under refrigerated transportation conditions in reefers, undertaking long ocean journeys. Upon arrival at their destination, many fruits and vegetables are then refrigerated to maintain their freshness.

The global cold supply chain plays a vital role in the transportation and storage of perishable items. 

IYFV 2021 has some important objectives including:

  • raising awareness of the nutritional value and health benefits of fruit and vegetable consumption
  • promoting diversified and balanced diets and lifestyles through their consumption
  • reducing losses and wastes in fruits and vegetables systems
  • sharing best practice on a host of issues from sustainable food systems to improved storage, transportation and recycling, the integration of smallholders into larger supply chains and strengthening the capacity of developing countries to adopt technology to combat loss and waste

A Word from Our Port Partner 2021 – Port of Rotterdam

The world’s population is growing and the demand for food and the way we consume it is more diverse than ever.

Image of the Port of Rotterdam Logo

We want our food fresh and we want it now. Over the next few years, import and export of agrofood products are expected to grow annually by 3% and 5% respectively and that growth will obviously have a direct and indirect impact on the supply chain.

As Port of Rotterdam Authority we have developed a series of interviews in which we look at key trends in today’s agrofood sector and the supply chain with a number of experts – both in premium articles and in videos.
