28-31 March 2017. Nairobi, Kenya. This
Congress, whose theme is “Reducing food losses and waste: Sustainable solutions for Africa” aimed to develop actionable plans to reduce postharvest losses and waste.
The event addressed key aspects of postharvest management related to perishable crops, perishable animal products, non-perishable food commodities, capacity development and related
social issues that affect postharvest management. It included an excursion to see some practical examples of cutting edge projects on the ground.
A key highlight of the Congress was the inaugural All Africa Postharvest Technology and Innovations Challenge which seeks to highlight emerging postharvest technologies and innovations with high potential for scale up.
Symposia: Hosted by four partner organizations
30th March 2017. Safeguarding Africa’s food − Are we winning or losing the fight against aflatoxin
“From study over 50% of milk in Kenya is contaminated with aflatoxins. Do we pour it all out? What next? Standards and regulations are good but not a total solution in face of high levels of aflatoxin in crops. Public understanding is low: what worries them does not kill them what kills them doesn’t worry them“ Delia Grace Scientist, ILRI

Post-harvest food loss is a major contributor to hunger and undernutrition affecting farming families across Africa. Aflatoxin moulds, spread by insects inside of traditional storage units,are one of the leading causes of cancer in Sub-Saharan Africa. In Uganda, during the first three months after harvest farmers loose up to 40% of their harvest to insects, pests, mould, and moisture. Now, smallholder farmers across Africa have a choice for a better future. In WFP’s Zero Food Loss Initiative, hermetic (airtight) storage is paired with effective training to drastically reduce losses, increase incomes, bring farmers closer to markets.
