Food loss analysis: causes and solutions – The Republic of Uganda. Beans, maize, and sunflower studies

This report illustrates the food loss assessment studies undertaken along the maize, sunflower and beans supply chains in Uganda in 2015-16 and 2016-17.

They aimed to identify the critical loss points in the selected supply chains, the key stages at which food losses occur, why they occur, the extent and impact of food losses and the economic, social and environmental implications of the food losses.

Furthermore, these studies also evaluated the feasibility of potential interventions to reduce food losses and waste.
