This study investigated postharvest management practices and postharvest losses along the potato value chain in eastern Uganda. It found that 62% of farmers sort and grade potatoes after harvest, but 56% only store potatoes for an average of 4 weeks due to fear of losses, pest damage, and high family cash demands. Postharvest losses averaged 9% for farmers, 15% for wholesalers, and 7% for retailers and processors. Losses were primarily due to bruising during harvest and storage pests and diseases. Improving postharvest handling practices and adopting suitable storage technologies were recommended to reduce losses and even out seasonal price fluctuations in the potato market.

Precision farming
This document discusses precision farming and its benefits. Precision farming uses tools like GPS, sensors, and GIS to precisely vary the application of inputs like water, fertilizer and pesticides based on site-specific needs. This improves yields and quality while reducing costs, waste, and environmental impact. Adopting precision farming techniques could help increase yields by 39-150% for crops like tomatoes, chillies, capsicum, brinjal and bhindi. Precision farming also improves farm incomes and makes agriculture more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Widespread adoption will require collaboration between farmers, scientists, engineers and industry to develop the necessary technologies and equipment.

Precision farming 1
Precision farming involves using new technologies and collected field information to optimize agricultural practices based on variability within fields. It aims to do the right thing, in the right place, at the right time. This tailors inputs like fertilizers and pesticides based on conditions and can improve crop yields while reducing costs and environmental impact. Precision farming uses tools like GPS, GIS, sensors and software to gather and analyze data on soil properties, climate and crop conditions to develop customized farm management plans. While promising, precision farming faces challenges in adoption related to costs, farm size and lack of expertise in developing countries.
Precision farming
Precision farming uses technology like GPS, GIS, remote sensing, and variable rate application to optimize crop production by accounting for spatial and temporal variability within fields. It involves accessing variability through soil sampling and mapping, then managing that variability using tools like variable rate technology, site-specific planting, and nutrient management. This contrasts with traditional farming which treats entire fields uniformly without consideration for variability. The goal of precision farming is to improve crop yields and quality while reducing costs, waste, and environmental impact.

Aflatoxins in Groundnuts
This document discusses aflatoxin contamination in Ghana's groundnut value chain. It finds that groundnuts are an important crop for Ghanaian farmers and diet, but are vulnerable to aflatoxin contamination which can be harmful to health. A survey was conducted of farmers, wholesalers, vendors and processors to understand groundnut production, trade and consumption patterns, as well as preferences and expenditures. The survey results indicate many Ghanaians consume groundnuts and groundnut paste frequently, putting them at risk of aflatoxin exposure. Weak institutions and lack of proper drying and storage facilities exacerbate the contamination risks in the groundnut supply chain. The document calls for effective control strategies to limit aflatoxin in

The document summarizes a presentation on predicting wheat production in South Africa for the 2022 harvest using satellite data and machine learning models. The key points are:
1) The model predicted South Africa's 2022 wheat production would be around 1.8 million MT, down from 2 million MT in 2021, with decreases predicted in most provinces except Western Cape and Free State.
2) Spatial analyses found decreases correlated with large rainfall and temperature anomalies as well as lower normalized difference vegetation index values in some areas.
3) Having accurate and timely production predictions can help policymakers develop interventions to support food security and limit price increases as the Russia-Ukraine war continues disrupting global agricultural markets.

Icraf Nairobi March 20 2007 V1
This document summarizes six underappreciated facts about African agriculture and their implications for poverty reduction and agricultural growth strategies. The key facts are that farm sizes are declining rapidly, grain productivity growth will be inadequate, most farmers are net buyers of staple crops, retail food prices are decreasing, supermarkets account for a small portion of food sales, and markets are not truly liberalized. These facts suggest strategies need to focus on diversification, improving traditional markets, and investing in public goods rather than input subsidies. Reallocating budgets to long-term investments like R&D and reducing policy unpredictability could encourage growth.
Icraf Nairobi March 20 2007 V1
This document summarizes six underappreciated facts about African agriculture and their implications for poverty reduction and agricultural growth strategies. Farm sizes are declining rapidly due to population growth, productivity growth alone will not lift most households out of poverty, most rural households are net buyers of staple crops so higher prices hurt them, retail food prices are generally declining, supermarkets currently play a small role, and markets are not truly liberalized. These facts suggest strategies need to focus on higher-return diversification beyond grains and boosting smallholder competitiveness rather than assuming productivity growth or market liberalization alone will solve problems.
