Modestly, about 40% of agricultural produce are wasted due to various reasons from government ineptitudeness on infrastructural development in the farming communities, climatic change , profligacy of institutional decadence, lack of adequate knowledge in food processing technology, lack of On- the farm processing and domestic wastages amongst others.
The massive corruption being perpetuated by few elite resulting in laundering the public funds abroad is very disturbing and unacceptable, the fund in few cases are traced and retrieved with the perpetrators sanctioned , while the consequences of prevalence of food wastages keeps demeaning the quality of human existence, inflicting physical and emotional malnourishment and nagging poverty resulting in an unabated high end crimes.

 

PANACEA
● Empowerment Training in the fundamentals of Food Processing eg . Water treatment, Food preservation, Food packaging , Food management systems etc . will bridge educational gap.especially for the female folks.
●Most agricultural produce couldn’t get to the market due to lack of accessibility especially the fruits and vegetables , ON- THE FARM processing could save the perishables eg. Tomatoes, Water melon etc
● Water conservation is key for agricultural productions.
● Lack of adequate STORAGE facilities for grains and tubers will suffice here.eg for Cereals, Yam tubers, Carrot, Avocados etc.especially at harvest season for off seasons supplies.
● NATIONAL COOLING PLAN is overdue, now that various state government in Nigeria can generate own electricity. Perishables can be stored for prolonged shelve life. Especially food for the minors.
● Hospitality industries, Restaurants and Events centre should send preserved leftovers to IDP camps to feed the vulnerables.
● Domestically right portion of food should be prepared and served to avoid leftovers.
In Nigeria, the effects of financial strangulation occasioned by ill advised policy on Cashless policy made food commodity not readily available to the teeming population leading to expiration of notable food on the shelves with resultant spoilage spiking off inflation at 21.7%.
