Synopsis (short abstract) Reducing losses in agricultural commodities is a priority for the agricultural sector in the Niger: lower losses lead to increased food availability, enhanced national food security and strengthened agri-food value chains. To provide up-to-date and quality evidence on the magnitude of food losses, 720 households were surveyed between September and December 2024 across the country, covering the country’s key crops and major on-farm stages of the agri-food value chains, including harvest, post-harvest and transportation. This thematic brief offers valuable insights into on-farm losses for six of the Niger's most significant agricultural commodities: millet, sorghum, maize, cowpeas, groundnuts, and sesame. By employing a comprehensive approach that integrates physical measurements with farmers' declarations, the survey delivers robust quantitative estimates of these losses. Additionally, it sheds light on the effectiveness of various data collection methods, paving the way for future assessments.
