The Nigerian government has pledged to tackle the nation’s significant post-harvest losses, which are estimated to cost the economy billions annually. This commitment was announced during a recent stakeholders’ meeting focused on enhancing food security and agricultural productivity.
Key strategies include investing in modern storage facilities, improving transportation infrastructure, and providing training for farmers on best post-harvest practices.
