    In order to improve global, regional and local knowledge about the underlying reasons for food loss, as well as to assess where critical loss points occur, FAO undertook a series of case studies involving numerous food supply chains in developing countries. Utilizing a defined food loss and waste analysis framework, the Organization and its partners identified nationally-important food products, and commissioned local-level studies of the losses in these chains. This brochure aims at disseminating the findings of the study to be used to develop technically, economically, environmentally and socially feasible solutions to reduce food losses along the maize value chain in Malawi.

    a prototype Malawi Maize Production Index (MMPI), constructed from weather data recorded by the Malawi Meteorological Office weather stations throughout the country, to capture maize production levels in Malawi. The aim is to find a simple and objective indicator that can be used as a proxy measure of the countrywide exposure of Malawi maize production to drought and hence serve as a nation-wide food security indicator on which an insurance agreement could be written for the Government of Malawi (GoM).
