Burkina Faso, Fonio, 2009

Burkina Faso's estimated postharvest losses for fonio in 2009 was 6,689 tonnes or 25.6%.

In the value chain, the majority of the loss is estimated to be happening at Harvesting/field drying, Threshing and Shelling, and then Market storage. Highest estimated postharvest maize losses in tonnes were estimated to occur in Hauts-Bassins.

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.
