Gambia's estimated postharvest losses in tonnes for rice were 4,680 tonnes and have not changed over the time covered by Aphlis. 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 Gambia, on average the highest quantity of rice 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 rice lost postharvest ranged from 19,843 people in 2022 to 19,843 people in 2003.
