Ethiopia's estimated postharvest losses for rice in 2009 was 130 tonnes or 11.6%.
As for nutrition 466 million kcal were lost, which is the equivalent of more than 0 thousand people, in terms of annual nutritional dietary energy requirements. In the value chain, the majority of the loss is estimated to be happening at Harvesting/field drying, Threshing and Shelling, and then Market storage. Highest estimated postharvest maize losses in tonnes were estimated to occur in Benshangul-Gumaz.
