Municipal waste composition © CSIR 2014 www.csir.co.za

Estimated food waste throughout the supply chain in SA 31.1 million tonnes © CSIR 2006 www.csir.co.za

Estimated food wastage in SA by commodity group Milk and eggs © CSIR 2017 www.csir.co.za

Conclusions Food waste statistics are estimations only due to lack of data Losses and waste occur throughout the value chain Food with shortest shelf life is most wasted (fruit & vegetables) Food waste can be reduced by awareness © CSIR 2006 www.csir.co.za
