Scaling-up Promising Post-Harvest Technologies by Implementing Cost-Effective Policy Actions in the National Agricultural Policy Framework (PSRSA) in Benin

The level of PHLs in Sub-Saharan Africa is comparable to a devastating disease. Although PHLs are compromising farmers’ food security and development, most of them pay little attention to the phenomenon. This policy brief will highlight the importance of PHLs and the main constraints to the adoption of PHM technologies followed by a discussion on scaling-up promising technologies. Recommendations are finally made for improving PHM-related policies in Benin.
