Presenter: Rakesh MunankamiProject Advisor
CoP on Food Loss Reduction Online Discussion
Introduction: GPLP
Overall Project Goal:
Reduce postharvest losses in food grains in the Central Corridor of Tanzania thereby improve food security and incomes of targeted farming households
Project Outcomes
1. Smallholder households have a better capacity to store grains
2. Metal silo market and alternative post-harvest technology markets are in place
3. Post-harvest policies and framework conditions in Tanzania are improved
Introduction: GPLP
Coverage:
Central Corridor of Tanzania covering
Dodoma, Manyara, Morogoro and
Shinyanga Regions
Budget:

Postharvest Technologies
Project is promoting following postharvesttechnologies
1. Improved PHM practices at all stages from grainharvest to storage e.g. threshing, transportation, dryingetc.
2. Storage Technologies
• Improvements in traditional storage infrastructures
• Proper use of storage chemicals
• Hermitically sealed bags (e.g. PICS bags)
• Metal silos
Key Achievements
• A National and 4 District Level Multi-stakeholder platform address policy
issues on postharvest management
- Processes of defining national PHM strategy started.
- Draft bylaws for governing PHM practices and technologies prepared in 3
districts.
• 211 extension workers and lead farmers received TOT and more than 14,300
farmers trained on PHM. 92% of trained farmers adopt improved PHM
practices; more than 1200 metal silos and 6700 PICS bag adopted by
farmers.
• 81 artisans trained on metal silo, more than 900 metal silo produced;
entrepreneurship and business management skill of 44 artisans and agro
dealers improved.
• 7600 farmers have access to finance through VICOBA groups.
• Action research and on-farm trails of different PHT organized, use of mass
media (TV and radio) for promoting lessons on PHM
As of July 2016
List of tools
Resources for awareness raising and promotion in local language
Key Observations
1. Identification of proper market actors is key to sustainable
market system.
2. Metal silo is a new technology which takes time for
adoption; increasing demand of PICS bags.
3. Competitive approaches by different organisations
promoting PHM – Market based Vs free give away
4. Need for sustainable metal silo quality control mechanism
(who provides, who pays in what modality).
5. All three private sector actors: local agent, agro dealers
and artisans are in direct contact with the farmers.
6. VICOBA groups are lending mostly for IGAs
