Post harvest loss PHLPost harvest loss PHL
In Africa, field studies have shown that 40 to 50% of theperishable horticultural crops lost before they can beconsumed, (25 to 30%), for grains and root crops mainly due tohigh rates of bruising, water loss and subsequent decay (FAO.2014, World Bank, 2012)Post-harvest food loss is one of the largest contributing factorsto food insecurity and under-nutrition (IFPRI,2013)
Factors for food loss are constraints in harvesting methods,storage, transport, process, cold chain, road infrastructures,package and market integration system (World Bank, 2012).
