Ghana's post-harvest losses have a profound and staggering impact on the country's economy. Despite producing millions of tons of agro produce each year, which already contributes to 30% of the country's GDP, there is untapped potential waiting to be realized. However, there is a significant roadblock standing in the way.
The roadblock hindering Ghana's agricultural sector from reaching its full potential is the alarming magnitude of post-harvest losses. Astonishingly, Ghana suffers a staggering loss of $1.9 billion annually due to these losses. This substantial financial setback not only affects individual farmers but also has far-reaching implications for the entire economy.
