WFP Zero Food Loss Initiative January 2019 Update

There are now over 335,000 families in 16 countries who have made the choice to join the WFP Zero Food Loss Initiative. Thanks to the hard work of a growing number of WFP Smallholder Agriculture Market Support Teams, by year-end 2019 there will be over 567,000 Zero Food Loss families across Africa. Over US$40 million has been raised for post-harvest projects in the past three years, with donor awareness and support continuing to grow.

The WFP Global Post-Harvest Knowledge & Operations Centre (KNOC) is responsible for assisting WFP country offices, governments, and interested actors to achieve the Zero Food Loss Mission - to build awareness among Africa's 200 million smallholder families that they can reduce post-harvest losses to almost zero, and that 50 million families purchase and begin using hermetic storage by 2030.
