Angola, Wheat, 2019

Angola's estimated postharvest losses for wheat in 2019 was 645 tonnes or 14.8%.

As for nutrition 2 billion kcal were lost, which is the equivalent of more than 2 thousand people, in terms of annual nutritional dietary energy requirements. In the value chain, the majority of the loss is estimated to be happening at Household-level storage, Harvesting/field drying, and then Threshing and Shelling. Highest estimated postharvest maize losses in tonnes were estimated to occur in Huíla.

Value chain

Production quantity and estimated postharvest losses in % per value chain step. Please note that once loss has occurred at harvesting, the percentage loss in the next stage is a percentage of what remained, not of the original amount.
