In Africa as well as globally, the demand for fruits and vegetables is increasing at the same rate as the rising population growth according to the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO). Losses in the food supply chain are however, predominant during harvest, post-harvest handling, storage, processing, and distribution stages. Almost half of all cultivated products are lost before they reach the consumption stage, necessitating the adoption of good post-harvest technologies.
