Guinea-Bissau's estimated postharvest losses in tonnes for rice ranged from 2,758 tonnes in 2000 to 25,795 tonnes in 2013. 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 Guinea-Bissau, on average the highest quantity of rice production occurs in Oio. 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 11,467 people in 2000 to 107,250 people in 2013.
