Ethiopia's estimated postharvest losses in tonnes for rice ranged from 0 tonnes in 2011 to 15,814 tonnes in 2018. The estimated loss percentages fluctuated between 0.0% and 12.6%.
Within the value chain, the majority of the postharvest rice loss is estimated to be happening at Harvesting/field drying. In Ethiopia, on average the highest quantity of rice production occurs in Amara. 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 0 people in 2011 to 66,623 people in 2018.
