The context in Cameroon

17.7%of the maize harvest is lost after harvest, about 261,000 tonnes.APHLIS, cereal post-harvest losses, Cameroon · 2021 estimates · source ↗
11.2%of the rice harvest is lost after harvest, about 23,400 tonnes.APHLIS, cereal post-harvest losses, Cameroon · 2021 estimates · source ↗

A large share of the harvest is lost between field and market because drying, storage and collection are not organised. Every tonne saved is direct income for rural households, most of whom are poor. See all the challenges →
