2. Postharvest loss is the degradation in both quantity and quality of a food product during the chain of interconnected activities from the time of harvest to the delivery of food to the consumer (from farm to fork or from crop to consumption). Manual threshing 1-5% Sun drying 3-5% Cutting, handling 1-5% Open storage 5-10% Village milling 20-30% Small retailers Machine threshing 1-5% Combine harvesting 1-5% Mechanical drying 1-2% Sealed storage 1-2% Commercial milling 5-10% Large retailers Crop Consumption Physical losses in traditional postharvest chain Physical losses in mechanized postharvest chain In SE Asia, physical losses range from 15-25%. Quality losses range from 10-30% (loss in value)

3. Investment required to reduce postharvest loss could be modest compared to the benefit With technological advances, its conceivably more feasible and less expensive to address Arable land, water, energy is in limited supply – we need to focus on preserving what is produced Due to market liberalization, need careful public action to help the private sector rather than crowd it out Why Postharvest Loss Prevention?

6. Vision Statement The ADM Institute for the Prevention of Postharvest Loss will serve as an international information and technology hub for evaluating, creating and disseminating economically viable technologies, practices and systems that reduce post-harvest loss in staple crops such as corn, wheat and oilseeds (also rice and lentils). The ADM Institute for the Prevention of Postharvest Loss

7. Educational, R&D, and Outreach Functions Conduct transformational R&D activities that will lead to reduced post- harvest loss through implementation of technology advancements and improved supply chain and information systems Establish strategic partnerships with ADM, government organizations and key academic and NGO partners to build the network of global institutions necessary to identify important research and implementation needs and to enhance implementation of research results Establish a post-harvest loss website to rapidly disseminate information and accelerate the transformation of post harvest loss science into practices and systems implemented throughout corn, wheat and oilseed supply chains Develop courses to provide training on best practices and technologies for minimizing post-harvest loss

8. Focus areaBrief Descriptions Measurement & technology Development Determining the extent of loss and creating specific innovations that, if successful, can effectively reduce post harvest loss. Systems informatics & analysis Quantitative modeling to analyze specific settings of interest, explicating including the relevant supply chains and systems Policy analysis Analyzing effects of public and institutional policies and evaluation of potential improvements Education, training, & information transfer Implementing tools to enhance performance of farmers and supply chain participants, providing thought leadership at significant conferences, sponsorship of events, and dissemination of findings through electronic and other media. Research Themes
