In 2015-2016, GCCF worked with The Postharvest Education Foundation (PEF) to research and draft a study on the food losses incurred on-farm in the 57 member countries. Funded by the COMCEC Office of the OIC, this project assessed on-farm losses to provide recommendations to reduce such losses. Through an extensive literature review, survey, and case studies completed on specific crops in Uganda, Nigeria, Benin, Egypt, Turkey, and Indonesia, the study identified seven recommendations for consideration. The recommendations were intended to be practical, applicable, concrete, open to collaborative efforts and capable of being implemented on a small, medium, or large scale to match currently available resources.
