- Measure agricultural losses during harvesting and post-harvest activities for the 2024 agricultural season
- Update existing values and establish values for other crops
- Propose an operational strategy to reduce post-harvest losses
- Improve the quality and reliability of statistics on agricultural losses
The survey covered a nationally representative sample of 720 households. The main sections covered in this study are:
- Socio-demographic characteristics of the households
- Agricultural practices
- Physical measurement of agricultural losses
- Declarative measurement of agricultural losses
