The Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), the main political forum of the region, has included Food Loss and Waste Reduction as one component of its Action Plan for Food and Nutrition Security and the Eradication of Hunger 2025. There are countries with experience in Food Loss and Waste Reduction that are making good use of sub-products. Steps are underway to build the institutional framewor k for the formation of a Regional Alliance for Food Loss and Waste Reduction. There is concrete evidence of food losses and waste in specific value chains in a few countries, and there are also potential solutions. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureFood loss and waste (FLW) in aquatic food value chains in the United Republic of Tanzania 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The United Republic of Tanzania fisheries and aquaculture production is dominated by small scale fishers, processors and traders. The fisheries and aquaculture sector provides direct employment to about 202,053 and indirectly more than 4 million people depends on the fisheries related activities such as fish processors and traders, fishing vessel manufacturers and suppliers, fishing gear menders, fish mongers and employees. However, the small scale fisheries (SSF) is challenged with huge Post-Harvest Fish Loss (PHFL) along the supply chain from harvest to the consumption. Although, the United Republic of Tanzania is blessed with many different fish specifies which are characterized by different post-harvest handling and processes, and mixed fish and fish products loss and waste scenarios. This work found limitation of robust impact assessment and interventions to reduce food fish loss and waste for all value chains actors from harvest to consumption. This concludes that there is little information to inform policy makers, and recommend that more robust and harmonized evidences on FLW are needed. -

Book (series)Working paperEstimating the food value chain decomposition by industries and primary factors 2024
Also available in:
No results found.This statistics working paper presents an estimation methodology for decomposing food expenditure across the industries and the primary factors of the food value chain (FVC). The approach outlined is based on the Global Food Dollar methodology developed by the Economic Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA-ERS) and Cornell University.
