Roadmap post-harvest loss reduction in selected Vietnamese value chains : phase 2

Each year possibly as much as 40% of the food produced is being lost or wasted somewhere between farm and fork. Also, in Vietnam there are significant food losses, and until now little effort has been made to reduce those losses. In this project the goal was to reduce food loss in selected Vietnamese food supply chains by combined efforts of Vietnamese stakeholders and Dutch companies and supported by Dutch knowledge on FLW monitoring and FLW reducing interventions. This study has not only provided insights into the amount of losses and where they arise, but also how Vietnamese and Dutch companies try to find each other when doing business, and which issues play a role in this.
