it is necessary to develop models that capture this variability. In particular, it is necessary to capture the uncertainty on price and yield which are very important for those growers that operate under open-market conditions. For these growers, the prices of their products vary along the harvesting season due to the combined effects of supply and demand and the lack of storage opportunities because of the perishability of these crops. For this reason, models that capture these uncertainties are needed to find more robust tactical solutions that are adaptable to the situations experienced by the different types of growers and their tolerance to risk.
In this paper, we develop a model that deals with the uncertainties mentioned above for the fresh produce industry. The model builds on the work introduced by
