Burundi's estimated postharvest losses in tonnes for rice ranged from 8,591 tonnes in 2013 to 15,367 tonnes in 2011. The estimated loss percentages have been unchanged over time at 11.9%.
Within the value chain, the majority of the postharvest rice loss is estimated to be happening at Harvesting/field drying. In Burundi, on average the highest quantity of rice production occurs in Bubanza. 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 37,529 people in 2013 to 67,132 people in 2011.
