1stAll-Africa Post Harvest Congress and Exhibition

The theme of the Congress is “Reducing Food Losses and Waste: Sustainable Solutions for
Africa”.
The congress is organized by a consortium of Universities; Research and
Development Organizations; Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and
Fisheries in conjunction with the World Food and Preservation Center and
hosted by the University of Nairobi. It will bring together diverse
stakeholders in the food supply chain including policy makers, local and
international agribusiness firms, potential investors, government
officials, financial institutions, farmers, traders, processors, academic
institutions, researchers, civil society organizations and thought leaders
to discuss and develop concrete plans for postharvest food loss and waste
reduction in the African context. The Congress aims at facilitating the
exchange of experience and advancement of collective knowledge among the
stakeholders in the food supply chain and specifically in the post-harvest
space to develop action plans that will move Africa’s postharvest food
loss and waste management agenda forward. The congress also features a
competition involving innovators of new postharvest technologies where the
top 15 innovations and technologies in various value chains (as selected
by a panel of experts) will be show-cased during a special session of the
congress.
