Gambia's estimated postharvest losses in tonnes for millet were 5,548 tonnes and have not changed over the time covered by Aphlis. The estimated loss percentages have been unchanged over time at 11.2%.
Within the value chain, the majority of the postharvest millet loss is estimated to be happening at Harvesting/field drying. In Gambia, on average the highest quantity of millet production occurs in Central River. Regarding nutritional losses, the number of people whose annual energy (kcal) dietary requirements could have been met with the estimated millet lost postharvest ranged from 24,533 people in 2022 to 24,533 people in 2003.
