| dc.description | Ethiopia loses a significant amount of food due to poor post-harvest management practices and technology. A post-harvest loss assessment conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in 2017 in four major producing regions of the country indicated that the average post-harvest loss of cereals and pulses ranges from 25 to 35 percent. For this reason, the Government of Ethiopia sought assistance from FAO to strengthen post-harvest management and storage practices as a means of combatting post harvest losses. This project built upon the results of a Phase I project, GCP/ETH/084/SWI. The Phase II project focused on maize, wheat, sorghum, haricot and fava beans, as well as chickpeas, and was implemented in the five regional states of the country: South Ethiopia, Central Ethiopia, Oromia, Amhara and Sidama. | |
