Missing Food: The Case of Postharvest Grain Losses in Sub-Saharan Africa - 1 227 KB
 

Large amounts of food in sub-Saharan Africa goes to waste as a result of inappropriate storage, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) says in this report, which calls for investing in post-harvest technologies to reduce the losses and boost the continent’s food security.

The joint FAO-World Bank report, entitled Missing Food: The Case of Postharvest Grain Losses in Sub-Saharan Africa, estimates the value of grain losses in sub-Saharan Africa at around $4-billion a year.
