✨ Key Highlights

Kenyan farmers are being urged to adopt post-harvest agro-processing technologies to boost their profits and reduce losses. Experts emphasize these technologies transform raw produce into valuable, marketable products.

Key technologies include modern storage, refrigeration, drying, dehydration, and automated grading/sorting systems.
Agricultural experts, including researcher Dr. Charity Gathamberi and KALRO Centre Director Dr. Joseph Kori Njuguna from the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO), are promoting these innovations.
The call to action comes amid concerns about significant post-harvest losses due to poor handling and storage practices.
