African seasonal price variability for cereals is two to three times higher than price variability on the international reference market.
We study post-harvest losses (PHL) in important and rapidly growing rural–urban value chains in Ethiopia.
This paper discusses the feasibility of applying a near-surface remote sensing approach in the index insurance component of the R4 Rural Resilience Initiative in Ethiopia.
Ethiopia producer teff survey is the study of the producers in the teff value chain in Ethiopia.
We study post-harvest losses (PHL) in important and rapidly growing rural-urban value chains in Ethiopia.
Predicting high-magnitude, low-frequency crop losses in the first half of the growing season can help identify need for early national and local interventions.
Storage losses of crops on the farm are often assumed to be an important contributor to presumed large post-harvest losses in developing countries. However, reliable and representative estimates on these losses are often lacking.
Timely and accurate agricultural impact assessments for droughts are critical for designing appropriate interventions and policy. These assessments are often ad hoc, late, or spatially imprecise, with reporting at the zonal or regional level.
Storage losses at the farm are often assumed to be an important contributor to presumed large postharvest losses in developing countries. However, reliable and representative data on these losses are often lacking.
Based on a unique large-scale data set on teff production and marketing, Ethiopia’s most important cash crop, we study post-harvest losses in rural-urban value chains, specifically between producers and urban retailers in the capital, Addis Ababa.

A central part of IFPRI’s mission is to provide policy solutions for ending hunger and malnutrition. This mission implies that we know the size and scope of the hunger problem around the world.

Seasonal price variability for cereals is two to three times higher in Africa than on the international reference market. Seasonality is even more pronounced when access to appropriate storage and opportunities for price arbitrage are limited.
