Post harvest losses are caused by fresh
produce spoilage during transportation
from the farm to the market, which
typically results from the use of
sub-optimal packaging materials.
These losses have a significant impact
on food security, as well as farmer
incomes, in East Africa. In Uganda's fruit
and vegetable sector, it is estimated that
30-40 per cent of fresh produce is wasted
through post harvest losses, rising to 60
per cent for tomatoes.
