The Issue
To feed the growing global population, food volume will need to increase enormously
Reducing food loss is the ‘low hanging fruit’, to improve food security and help farmers grow out of poverty.
A value chain approach is needed because of the many challenges along the chain
- Lack of professional farming practices
Long trading chain with many small players
Aggregation and sales process take long without cold storage
- No market- and information link between farmers and buyers
- No suitable transport practices
