In Sub-Saharan Africa, root, tuber and banana crops are characterized by high postharvest losses, short marketing channels and limited value adding due to their bulkiness and high perishability, poor postharvest management and lack of storage and processing facilities.

The project, implemented by the CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers and Bananas with funding by the European Union and technical support of IFAD, has just launched its website.
