Summary
The scale of post-harvest losses and its economic and social costs constitute major challenges to the development of agriculture and rural areas.They also represent key obstacles to food security and nutrition in developing countries. Africa remains the most affected continent. In light of the current progress, Africa is apparently not on track to reach the SDG12.3 and the Malabo and Maputo Declarations targets. Despite a renewed commitment, the current situation requires a serious reflection on strategies, policies and means of implementation to meet the Malabo Declaration targets:halving post-harvest losses by 2025, and ending hunger and malnutrition in Africa by 2030.
