Chad, Millet, 2002

Chad's estimated postharvest losses for millet in 2002 was 48,433 tonnes or 8.6%.

As for nutrition 176 billion kcal were lost, which is the equivalent of more than 215 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, Transport from field, and then Threshing and Shelling. Highest estimated postharvest maize losses in tonnes were estimated to occur in Ouaddaï.

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.
