Niger's estimated postharvest losses in tonnes for wheat were 567 tonnes and have not changed over the time covered by Aphlis. The estimated loss percentages have been unchanged over time at 12.9%.
Within the value chain, the majority of the postharvest wheat loss is estimated to be happening at Harvesting/field drying. In Niger, on average the highest quantity of wheat production occurs in Tahoua. Regarding nutritional losses, the number of people whose annual energy (kcal) dietary requirements could have been met with the estimated wheat lost postharvest ranged from 2,314 people in 2022 to 2,314 people in 2003.
