Angola's estimated postharvest losses in tonnes for rice ranged from 1,154 tonnes in 2018 to 4,941 tonnes in 2014. The estimated loss percentages fluctuated between 11.7% and 11.9%. The largest losses in USD were estimated to have occurred in 2014 with a value of over 16 million USD, equivalent to 0.1% of national agricultural GDP.
Within the value chain, the majority of the postharvest rice loss is estimated to be happening at Harvesting/field drying. In Angola, on average the highest quantity of rice production occurs in Bié. Regarding nutritional losses, the number of people whose annual energy (kcal) dietary requirements could have been met with the estimated rice lost postharvest ranged from 4,910 people in 2018 to 21,022 people in 2014.
