Sudan, Wheat, 2001

Sudan's estimated postharvest losses for wheat in 2001 was 73,081 tonnes or 12.9% which had an estimated value of more than 19 million US dollar.

In the value chain, the majority of the loss is estimated to be happening at Harvesting/field drying, Threshing and Shelling, and then Household-level storage. Highest estimated postharvest maize losses in tonnes were estimated to occur in Blue Nile.

Value chain

Production quantity and estimated postharvest losses in % per value chain step. Please note that once loss has occurred at harvesting, the percentage loss in the next stage is a percentage of what remained, not of the original amount.
