The African PostHarvest Loss Information System
Data
Algorithm
Estimates
Factors
2012 Maize % weight losses • Displays loss estimates for 7 cereal
crops, by province, for Sub-Saharan Africa
• Uses an algorithm to generate estimates from published PHL data + environmental and contextual factors
• These factors contributed by a network of African specialists
• Method of calculation transparent and data quality assessment displayed
APHLIS+• New Partnerships
APHLIS+ will be opened to the international community:– A Steering Committee of
international experts– A Technical Board for:
Data collection Algorithms/models
- Connection to the PHL community of practice (especially FAO initiative)
• Funded by BMGF 5 years project
• Wider coverageAPHLIS+ will build on APHLIS and add: Additional crops Starting in six countries
• Improved estimatesAPHLIS+ will develop: New losses algorithms Postharvest risk warnings (incl.
aflatoxins) Better data collection
