Supply Chain Collaboration in the Management of Nam Dok Mai Mango Exports from Thailand to Japan SUPPLY CHAIN COLLABORATION IN THE MANAGEMENT OF NAM DOK MAI MANGO EXPORTS FROM THAILAND TO JAPAN by SUPAJIT PANICHSAKPATANA A thesis submitted to the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY BUSINESS SCHOOL University of Newcastle upon Tyne May 2013 ABSTRACT This thesis aims to develop the supply chain collaboration in the management of fresh Nam Dok Mai mangoes for exports to Japan. To accomplish the research aim, three main objectives are addressed; 1) to provide an overview of existing supply chain of Nam Dok Mai mangoes in Thailand and to identify strengths and weakness in the supply chain; 2) to analyse supply chain collaboration between growers and exporters in the production of mangoes for export to Japan; and 3) to provide recommendations to the government and related agencies on sufficient supply chain management for fresh mango exports. Following a theoretical review, the study employs a conceptual framework for the study of collaborative supply chain that differs from the traditional concepts used in the manufacturing industries literature. The thesis framework presents concepts of supply chain collaboration used for an agro-food industry focusing on the perishable products. The discussion and analysis based on the six case studies of mango export companies which are the main exporters in Thailand. Semi-structured interviews are conducted to gather data from growers and exporters. A cross-case analysis is applied to examine the collaboration and to compare similarities and differences among six companies. The developed theoretical concepts of supply chain collaboration are discussed in the cross-case analysis to determine the good collaborative practices between growers and exporters in each case study. The outcomes of this analysis contribute to the introduction of grower-exporter collaboration in agro-food supply chain. The results demonstrate that information sharing, decision synchronization, relationship and trust are the keys to improve production capability. Incentive alignment can provide the motivation for increasing growers’ performances. Traceability can be determined as a critical issue for product quality improvement in terms of i food safety. The collaboration can increase production efficiency. The consistency in good performance can develop trust and long-term relationship in the supply chain. Thus, the value in collaborative supply chain has a positive impact on the agribusiness in terms of increasing competitive advantage. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS So many people and several organisations have contributed to the completion of this doctoral thesis.

Although mango is an economically important fruit tree, its genetic resources are still undocumented and are threatened in their natural habits. In this study, the variability of 452 mango accessions from three regions in China (Nujiang, Lancang river and Honghe) was assessed using 41 descriptors including qualitative and quantitative traits, with the aim to identify mango accessions with excellent agronomic and quality traits. To this end, descriptive and multivariate analyses were performed. Based on Shannon–Weaver diversity index, qualitative traits including pericarp color, fruit aroma, flesh color, and fruit flavor recorded the highest variability in the germplasm. Fruit related traits including pulp weight, peel weight, and fruit weight were the most diverse traits in the germplasm with a high coefficient of variation (CV > 40%). Significant differences (MANOVA test, p < 0.000) were observed among the three regions for most of the quantitative traits.

However, the economic crisis and increased competitiveness of the international market required improvements in the crop efficiency for its sustainability. In this context, the objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different irrigation system on the physiology and fruit yield and quality of Palmer mango trees in the semiarid conditions of the Lower Middle São Francisco Valley, Brazil. The experiment was carried out at the Agranvil Farm, in Petrolina, state of Pernambuco, Brazil, with harvests in July 2013 and October 2014. A randomized block statistical design was used, with four treatments replicated in 5 blocks, during two production cycles. The treatments consisted of four irrigation systems: one micro sprinkler under the plant canopy (MSPC); drip system with two lateral lines per plant row (DSLL); one micro sprinkler between plants (MSBP); and ring-shaped drip system around the plants (RSDS). All treatments provided a flow rate of 56 L h-1 plant-1. The physiological characteristics evaluated were: photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, leaf transpiration, and leaf temperature.

  • DURING FROZEN STORAGE by ANGELA RINCON
    EFFECT OF PREFREEZING TREATMENTS ON QUALITY OF MANGO (Manguifera Indica L.) DURING FROZEN STORAGE by ANGELA RINCON (Under the direction of William L. Kerr) ABSTRACT At the moment there is a high demand for high-quality fruit ingredients to be used in many food formulations such as pastry and confectionery products, ice cream, frozen desserts and sweets, fruit salads, cheese and yoghurt. The overall objective was to improve quality of frozen mango using two types of food cryoprotection: one was the reduction of water content of the fruit (osmotic dehydration) and the other was the formulation of mango pulp with carbohydrates of different molecular weight to increase frozen stability. Osmotic dehydration was able to modify quality parameters of slices before and after frozen storage. Values for some parameters such as vitamin C, lightness (L*), chroma (C*), and firmness for non osmotically dehydrated slices were significantly higher than osmotically dehydrated slices. However, treatments carried out with osmotic solutions (especially those with high concentrations of sucrose) improved significantly the quality of mango slices after frozen storage. Higher moisture losses and solid gain values were reported for slices from the highest osmotic solution concentration. Thus, slices dipped in 30oBrix were better protected against freezing damage. Effects of sucrose concentration on the slices and ripening stage on frozen-thawed mango flavor perception were determined. Six flavor descriptors (color, flavor, sweetness, sourness, firmness and juiciness) were evaluated by a sensory trained panel. All descriptors were affected by sugar content and ripening stage. To study the effect of mango fruit composition on frozen stability, five pulp samples were prepared and evaluated in terms of glass transition temperature modification and its influence on ascorbic acid retention.

  • Changes in the Sensory Characteristics of Mango Cultivars During the Production of Mango Purée and Sorbet
    DIFFERENCES IN SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS AMONG VARIOUS MANGO CULTIVARS IN THE FORM OF FRESH SLICED MANGO, MANGO PURÉE, AND MANGO SORBET by CHRISTIE N. LEDEKER B.S., University of Delaware, 2008 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Interdisciplinary Food Science Graduate Program Department of Human Nutrition KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2011 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Delores H. Chambers Abstract Fresh mangoes are highly perishable, and therefore, they are often processed to extend shelf-life and facilitate exportation. Studying the transformation that mango cultivars undergo throughout processing can aid in selecting appropriate varieties for products. In the 1st part of this study, the flavor and texture properties of 4 mango cultivars available in the United States (U.S.) were analyzed. Highly trained descriptive panelists in the U.S. evaluated fresh, purée, and sorbet samples prepared from each cultivar. Purées were made by pulverizing mango flesh, passing it through a china cap, and heating it to 85 °C for 15 s. For the sorbets, purées were diluted with water (1:1), sucrose was added, and the bases were frozen in a batch ice cream freezer. Much of the texture variation among cultivars was lost after fresh samples were transformed into purées, whereas much of the flavor and texture variation among cultivars was lost once fresh mangoes and mango purées were transformed into sorbets. Compared to the other cultivars, Haden and Tommy Atkins underwent greater transformations in flavor throughout sorbet preparation, and processing reduced the intensities of some unpleasant flavors in these cultivars.
