Poor transport and storage systems contribute to post-harvest losses in Ghana – Mathias Yabe

Speaking on the 13th edition of the Loud and Green X-Space on JoyNews, Mr Yabe said the transportation of fresh produce could result in significant losses before the food reached consumers.

Mr Yabe, however, said the losses should not simply be blamed on the farmer but should be viewed as evidence of the need for better systems to move perishable produce from farms to markets.

He said one of the farmers who participated in the pilot reported no losses while using the refrigerated tricycle to deliver produce.
