Agro-food chains’ studies represent a concern of modern society. A larger number of consumers wish to be informed not only about products’ content and preparation way, but also about its origin, the way that it is obtained, the stages that it went from land to mouth. In this paper it is estimated the quantitative and qualitative losses that could happen on tomatoes’ chain and there are given solutions to prevent or to reduce these losses. Also, there are elaborated and implemented models for profit maximization on the chain, considering two possible scenarios. In the first one, which refers to the situation that there are not implemented loses’ methods of prevention, the profit will be lower than in the second one, which takes into account the methods of prevention.
