Reduction of food losses along the Meru avocado value chain in Kenya
Samenvatting
Avocado farming is a popular enterprise among small holder avocado farmers in Meru-County Kenya. The sector is rapidly growing and the country is ranked as the 6th world producer of avocado. However, the developed avocado value chain is experiencing high food losses along different phases of the chain. This hinders the sector’s sustainability and is limiting competitiveness for the growing demand. A study on reduction of food losses along the Meru avocado value chain was conducted in Meru County, with key considerations on the involved stakeholders and their roles, food loss causes and food loss hot spots, current food loss reduction measures and food loss impacts. This research has been carried out as part of Food Waste Reduction and Food Quality Living LAB FORQLAB – Kenya Project
