Food Processing and Post-Harvest Handling Innovation Lab

Food Processing and Post-Harvest Handling Innovation Lab

The Food Processing and Post-Harvest Handling Innovation Lab is working to increase access to safe and nutritious foods along the value chain. The Innovation Lab achieves these increases by improving the drying and storage capacity of smallholder farmers so that they can bring quality products to the market. The Lab also works to expand market opportunities by diversifying the types, and nutritional quality, of processed products to meet consumer needs.

We support and strengthen the post-harvest segment of the value chain using a market-led approach to reduce food losses. Our goal is to empower farmers to participate in the global market economy. For them to do so, processing and post-harvest handling constraints must be overcome and linkages to markets enhanced.
