No results found.Eritrea faces post harvest losses ( of approximately 30 percent across most, if not all, its staple grain harvests Post harvest losses impact the entire country’s economy, but most directly smallholder farmers and their families Initial data indicates that there are an estimated 500 000 smallholder farmer households in Eritrea, and approximately 450 000 to 500 000 hectares of land are cultivated However, due to traditional farming practices and consecutive droughts, production does not usually meet consumption requirements Low agricultural productivity is one of the major challenges, which, combined with PHL, is the major factor giving rise to the necessity to import foodstuffs Against this background, the project aimed to address significant PHL in the country caused by poor handling, drying and storage, and to contribute to increased self reliance of agricultural communities This would be achieved through the provision of post harvest handling training and household hermetic storage equipment.
