Guinea-Bissau's estimated postharvest losses in tonnes for millet ranged from 861 tonnes in 2013 to 2,605 tonnes in 2008. 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 Guinea-Bissau, on average the highest quantity of millet production occurs in Gabú. 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 3,732 people in 2013 to 11,297 people in 2008.
