Book (stand-alone)Report on off-farm post-harvest loss assessment survey in Ethiopia 2023
Also available in:
No results found.A study on post-harvest losses was conducted in Amhara, Oromiya and the Southern nation nationality and peoples regions of Ethiopia to pilot a methodology to produce national statistics of off-farm losses. The study was conducted by the Ethiopian Statistics Service (ESS), with technical and financial support from the Office of the Chief Statistician and the Statistics Division of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). -

Grain supply chains in Burkina Faso, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Uganda - Technical brief
2021Also available in:
No results found.The UN Rome-based agencies joint project aimed to improve smallholder food security and incomes in food deficit areas by reducing food losses. The Project contributes to the African Union Malabo Declaration (AUC, 2014) in which Member States committed to halve the levels of post-harvest losses by 2025. It also contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12 on ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns, specifically to target 12.3 that aims to halve food waste and reduce post-harvest losses by 2030. This technical brief presents the FAO methodology used to carry out studies on food loss analyses and the major findings and recommendations formulated to reduce post-harvest losses in the selected food supply chains in Burkina Faso (maize, sorghum, and cowpea), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (maize and rice) and the Republic of Uganda (maize, beans and sunflower), in the framework of the United Nations Rome-based Agencies’ joint project. -
Book (stand-alone)Post-harvest loss in Mozambique - Estimating maize loss in Manica and Zambezia provinces
Technical note
2021Also available in:
No results found.In Mozambique, food security remains a key issue and the country suffers perennial food shortages, especially in the provinces of Manica,Tete, Sofala, Zambezia, Maputo and Gaza. Weaknesses in post-harvest systems, which contribute to both a lower supply and higher food prices (due to post-harvest losses) are key reasons behind these food shortages. Currently, none of the post-harvest losses programmes conducted in Mozambique provides loss estimates along the entire value chain for a given commodity. In this report, we quantify losses across the value chain in maize, which is a key staple food in Mozambique, in the provinces of Manica and Zambezia. The study, carried out by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in collaboration with the Agrifood Economics Division (ESA) at FAO, sheds light on understanding the magnitude, nature and consequences of food losses across the maize value chain in selected regions in Mozambique. In particular, the methodology used in this report allows to accurately measure food losses and identify in which segment of the value chain these food losses occur and the causes of the losses.
