Innovative post-harvest solutions strengthen food security and farmers’ incomes in Ghana

Funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, Saving Grains 301 GmbH, and members of the local farming communities, the Fund for the Promotion of Innovation in Agriculture (i4Ag) project addressed one of the most significant challenges affecting Ghana's grain sector: post-harvest losses, which can account for up to 40% of harvested grain.

About the projectThe project "Reducing Post-Harvest Losses and Utilising Agricultural Residues" is funded and commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
