REDUCING POSTHARVEST LOSSES AND IMPROVING FOOD SECURITY

Plant oils, oil powders and the powders of fruits and vegetables break the cycle of food loss helping foods find home.

The business benefits of investing in smallholder dry chains include long-term supply security, improved quality and yields, greater supply chain transparency and new market creation.

Supporting smallholders aligns with initiatives such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). On average, women make up 43 percent of the agricultural labour force and produce 60 to 80 percent of food crops in poorer parts of the world, much of this activity is engaged in the preservation, extraction and drying of agricultural produce.
