Maize, millet, sorghum, sweetpotatoes and cassava are the major crops grown and consumed in
Uganda. However, most of the food produced is lost postharvest (20-30%), mainly due to poor
postharvest handling methods, including late harvesting, poor harvesting and sorting methods,
insufficient drying, inappropriate storage conditions, poor processing, use of defective packaging,
and infestation by molds, insects and rodents. This manual gives guidelines on post-harvest practices
and technologies that can be used to maintain quality and reduce losses in maize, millet, sorghum,
cassava and sweetpotatoes handling.
A manual from Makerere University, VEDCO and NARO.
Note: This resource was added to this database as part of a migration of
resources from the now defunct CCRP Sphaera platform, and is still
awaiting a comprehensive review and quality check.
