Post-harvest losses and market performance among cocoa farmers in Uganda. a case study of Bundibugyo District
Abstract
Part of the most important goal and ambition for developing regions and countries in East Africa
and parts of the world is encouraging the connection and the empathy for the sustenance of
security and Economic growth and development. Cypher, J. (2014). My work will be based on
coming out with what are the post-harvest handling processes of cocoa in Bundibugyo district
and more research will be done to show how to increase the productivity of cocoa to increase its
productivity and help in improving the livelihood of cocoa farmers in Uganda as well as all the
citizens.
Post-harvest losses are the primary problems in the production process as well as in the
marketing chain. Negi, S., &Anand, N. (2016). Post-harvest losses have immediate impact on
the quality of cocoa as they lead to quality deterioration which directly affects farmers’ earnings
which reduces the farmers’ income as well as the livelihood of people. Neilson∗, J. (2007). This
makes post-harvest losses the major area of concern and has to be looked at. A post-harvest
system will imply a lot of operations and functions from the point of production to the point of
consumption of the agriculture product. Farm products must pass through the post-harvest
system to reach the final consumer.
