Abstract

This study examines food loss and food waste (FLW) in the cabbage (Brassica oleracea/Brassica rapa) supply chain as a critical challenge to sustainable food systems. Cabbage is highly susceptible to loss due to intensive trimming, mechanical damage, non-protective packaging, and the absence of cold chain infrastructure, particularly in modern and online market channels. This review aims to identify FLW hotspots along the cabbage value chain and to assess prevention and valorization strategies within a circular economy framework. The FAO Food Loss Analysis (FLA) methodology was applied through load tracking, sampling, interviews, and qualitative assessments across multiple distribution channels in Cianjur, Indonesia. Results show cumulative losses ranging from 18–51%, primarily driven by repeated handling, strict visual quality standards, and inadequate logistics. Preventive interventions such as Good Handling Practices (GHP), reusable plastic crates, and improved early-stage transport systems demonstrate strong economic feasibility and significant loss reduction. In addition, cabbage residues present high potential for valorization into functional ingredients, bioenergy, and bio-based materials. Integrating prevention and valorization strategies is essential to reduce FLW and enhance sustainability in horticultural supply chains.
