Cereal losses across sub-Saharan Africa run at roughly 20%. For fruits, vegetables and tubers, the figure climbs to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fao.org\/africa\/news-stories\/news-detail\/Reducing-post-harvest-losses-vital-for-food-and-nutrition-security\/en\">40%\u201350%<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exact figures vary considerably by crop, country and measurement method. The discrepancy is itself revealing: In many markets, we do not know precisely where losses occur or which interventions would have the greatest effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This post-harvest crisis is often presented as an infrastructure problem. Africa does need more warehouses, refrigerated vehicles, processing facilities and reliable electricity, but beneath these physical constraints lies another, less visible problem: an information deficit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the <a href=\"https:\/\/ifdc.org\/2025\/01\/21\/african-union-adopts-10-year-strategy-and-action-plan-to-transform-africas-agrifood-systems\/\">Kampala Declaration<\/a>, African leaders have set a goal of reducing post-harvest losses by 50% by 2035. Meeting that ambition will require continued investment in storage, energy, transport and processing. But building more infrastructure without improving the flow of information risks reproducing today\u2019s inefficiencies at a larger scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Data drought impacts food security<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agricultural value chains frequently lack timely, reliable data about what has been harvested, where it is stored, how quickly it must reach market and where demand exists. Without this visibility, businesses cannot co-ordinate transport, plan processing capacity or intervene before produce spoils. Infrastructure is essential, but it cannot deliver its full value when decisions are based on incomplete or outdated information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What we often call food loss is therefore also the result of disconnected decisions. A processor may not know that a harvest is arriving early. A logistics provider may lack the information needed to allocate refrigerated transport, and a warehouse operator may identify a temperature breach only after a shipment has deteriorated. Farmers without access to market signals may sell immediately after harvest, when prices are lowest, because they cannot assess whether storage would produce a better return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artificial intelligence can help close these gaps by turning fragmented operational data into co-ordinated action. Yield forecasts can give processors and distributors earlier visibility of expected supply. Connected sensors can monitor temperature and humidity during storage and transport. Predictive models can identify spoilage risks, while intelligent planning systems can match products with available warehouse capacity, vehicles, processing facilities and buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Building a connected agri value chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The greatest opportunity, however, comes from connecting these capabilities across the value chain. A temperature alert has limited value if it does not trigger a logistics response. A yield forecast cannot prevent waste if procurement, labour and processing plans remain unchanged. Traceability data will not unlock premium export markets unless it flows into quality management, compliance reporting and financial systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enterprise technology plays a critical role by linking procurement, inventory, manufacturing, quality, logistics, finance and traceability, intelligent business systems to create a shared operational picture from farm gate to retailer. AI then helps organisations anticipate disruptions, co-ordinate responses and continuously adjust plans as conditions change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These systems can support practical decisions: redirecting vulnerable produce to the nearest processor, prioritising a refrigerated shipment, adjusting warehouse labour ahead of a delivery, or identifying a quality risk before goods reach an export customer. Over time, this moves agricultural supply chains from reacting to losses toward preventing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Technology tailored to local conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can already see elements of this model taking shape. <a href=\"https:\/\/borgenproject.org\/coldhubs\/\">Solar-powered, pay-as-you-store cold rooms<\/a> are making refrigeration more accessible to small-scale producers in Nigeria. Digital sourcing platforms are helping incorporate farmers into formal value chains; one <a href=\"https:\/\/businessday.ng\/agriculture\/article\/sap-develops-solution-to-connect-smallholder-farmers-to-agricultural-value-chains\/\">麻豆原创-enabled initiative<\/a> in partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbiinnovations.com\/\">CBi Innovations Limited<\/a> was designed to connect 850 000 Nigerian maize producers with buyers and services. The next step is to bring infrastructure, farm-level information and enterprise operations together as one connected system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Local conditions and infrastructure must be considered. Many smallholders do not own smartphones or have dependable connectivity. Successful solutions will therefore need offline capabilities, simple mobile interfaces and trusted intermediaries who can capture information and deliver insights locally. Technology should accommodate the realities of African agriculture rather than assume every farmer is continuously connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Better visibility over agricultural value chains also offers benefits beyond food security. Traceable, well-managed supply chains can strengthen access to finance, support sustainability reporting and help agricultural businesses meet the quality and compliance requirements of high-value export markets. Reducing losses improves margins without requiring more land, water or agricultural inputs, delivering both an economic and an environmental opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Africa needs an intelligent, connected value chain capable of seeing problems early and co-ordinating action across organisational boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When physical infrastructure is combined with trusted data and AI-enabled operations, post-harvest loss becomes a preventable failure that businesses, governments and technology partners can address together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Shiraz Khota<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Managing Director: Emerging Africa<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every year, a staggering share of the food Africa\u2019s farmers grow never reaches a plate.
