Abstract:

Given the renewed impetus by the Nigerian Government to diversify the economy through improvement in agricultural productivity, there is the need to put in place measures that will ensure that the anticipated increase in production will not result in colossal waste. Towards this end, this paper examines critically the causes and extent of post-harvest loss in Nigeria and strategies that should be put in place to reduce such loss. The underlying assumption is that reduction in post-harvest loss will ensure improved food security which will lead to the attainment of SDG 2 in Nigeria.

Keywords:Post harvest Food losses Food security Agricultural productivity.
