Post-harvest losses remain a major concern across our food systems. Fresh produce can be lost through poor handling, storage and transportation, while grains can be affected by moisture, pests and inadequate storage.
With forecasts pointing to a super El Niño, every tonne of food produced becomes more valuable. Government is strengthening post-harvest management and storage capacity, including the use of AI-powered silos to improve grain storage, monitoring and management. As we prepare for the season ahead, protecting the food we produce is just as important as increasing production.

Farmers are producing, but large volumes of fresh produce are being lost. At a time when Zimbabwe is preparing for the effects of a potentially severe El Niño, we cannot afford to produce food only to see it go to waste. We must strengthen market linkages, improve storage and handling, support value addition and reduce post-harvest losses across the food system.
