Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has expressed sadness over the rising cases of post-harvest losses of agricultural produce in Nigeria which he blamed on poor storage, poor rural infrastructure and non-automation of food processing.
The Pre-Summit is a prelude to the culminating global event scheduled for September 2021, in Rome, Italy. He was quoted as saying, “Post-harvest losses in Africa, and particularly in Nigeria, are more than 20 per cent of production for several food groups. “The situation in many African countries is given increased urgency with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to growing levels of acute food insecurity.“This is of great concern to all of us, especially if we recall that before the pandemic, the prevalence of severe food insecurity was as high as 22 per cent.”
