Chad, Wheat, 2021

Chad's estimated postharvest losses for wheat in 2021 was 2 tonnes or 12.9%.

As for nutrition 5 million kcal were lost, which is the equivalent of more than 0 thousand people, in terms of annual nutritional dietary energy requirements. In the value chain, the majority of the loss is estimated to be happening at Harvesting/field drying, Threshing and Shelling, and then Household-level storage. Highest estimated postharvest maize losses in tonnes were estimated to occur in Lac.
