Burkina Faso, Fonio, 2010

Burkina Faso's estimated postharvest losses for fonio in 2010 was 4,639 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 Boucle du Mouhoun.

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.
