This study aims to determine stakeholder support for the usage of reusable crates, particularly for agricultural products such as vegetables and fruits, in Malaysia. The study utilized a combination of quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques, including surveys and interviews. A total of 597 complete questionnaires were collected, and twelve stakeholders, including government agencies, associations, transportation companies, and supermarkets, participated in focus group discussions.

Key stakeholders, including authorities, delivery service providers, and suppliers, effectively fulfil their roles and responsibilities in supporting the use and operation of reusable crates. The study emphasizes the importance of stakeholders such as DBKL, PKPS, and the wholesaler association in recognizing their role in supervising and monitoring the usage, arrangement, and storage of crates. This involvement ensures efficient crate management and promotes the sustainable use of reusable crates among wholesalers, retailers, and end users, thereby fostering sustainable practices in the agriculture sector.

Abstract

This study aims to determine stakeholder support for the usage of reusable crates, particularly for agricultural products such as vegetables and fruits, in Malaysia. The study utilized a combination of quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques, including surveys and interviews. A total of 597 complete questionnaires were collected, and twelve stakeholders, including government agencies, associations, transportation companies, and supermarkets, participated in focus group discussions. The results indicate that each stakeholder has a distinct role in the usage and management of reusable crates among users. Key stakeholders, including authorities, delivery service providers, and suppliers, effectively fulfil their roles and responsibilities in supporting the use and operation of reusable crates. The study emphasizes the importance of stakeholders such as DBKL, PKPS, and the wholesaler association in recognizing their role in supervising and monitoring the usage, arrangement, and storage of crates. This involvement ensures efficient crate management and promotes the sustainable use of reusable crates among wholesalers, retailers, and end users, thereby fostering sustainable practices in the agriculture sector.
