In 2021, Côte d'Ivoire's annual estimated postharvest losses were 79,711 tonnes for rice, 108,618 tonnes for maize, 4,049 tonnes for millet, 4,115 tonnes for sorghum. The highest and lowest estimated postharvest loss percentages are 18.0% for maize and 11.2% for millet. The costliest estimated postharvest losses in USD are for rice: over 71 million USD.
Within the value chain, for all crops the majority of loss is estimated to be happening at harvesting/field drying. Within Côte d'Ivoire, the highest postharvest losses in tonnes occur for rice in Savanes, for maize in Savanes, for millet in Savanes, for sorghum in Savanes. Regarding the nutritional losses, the estimated maize grain lost postharvest could have met the annual energy (kcal) dietary requirements of 452,161 people.
