FG Moves to Curb N3.5 Trillion Post-Harvest Losses

ABUJA — The Federal Government has disclosed plans to address Nigeria’s post-harvest losses, which are currently valued at over N3.5 trillion annually.

Officials revealed at the weekend that the initiative will involve modern storage systems, improved transportation facilities, and stronger linkages between farmers and markets. According to the government, reducing post-harvest waste will not only enhance food security but also strengthen the nation’s economy and improve livelihoods for millions of farmers.

The intervention will be implemented through partnerships with state governments, the private sector, and international development agencies. Stakeholders say curbing post-harvest losses is crucial to cutting food prices, boosting exports, and ensuring that farmers earn better returns on their produce.

The move comes amid rising concerns over food inflation and the urgent need to expand Nigeria’s agricultural productivity.
