Harvest Agricultural Solutions Ltd. Details
The HAS team has already successfully worked with over 500,000 farming families in 16 countries to reduce post-harvest losses, and have developed a four-step method to scale, at a country-wide level, post-harvest lossand aflatoxin reduction. The formation of HAS is to bring a holistic focus on these two challenges, while integrating HAS work with other stakeholders who focus on other aspects of the agricultural value chain, such as quality inputs, access to finance, and access to markets. Partnerships and collaboration are key: with governments, the private sector, civilsociety, donors, and international organizations like PACA (Partnership for Aflatoxin Control in Africa), APHLIS (African Post-Harvest Loss Information System), and USAID's Post-Harvest Loss Innovation Lab. But the most important relationships, and at the core of HAS values, is with thewomen who are the driving force behind Africa's harvests.The emergence of Covid-19 has renewed the Ugandan Government's focus on food security & nutrition, as well as import replacements and export promotion. Most of the pieces are in place for a rapid scaling of post-harvest loss reduction and aflatoxin prevention (government and donor interest, HAS, the private sector supply chain, local knowledge). Uganda, with its potential to be the breadbasket for Africa, is the initial focus,extending the post-harvest success that the HAS team has already achieved with over 120,000 Ugandan families.Clients will include the Government of Uganda (Ministries, Departments andAgencies (MDAs)), the private sector, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and international development partners. HAS is also already receiving requests for assistance from other African countries.Harvest Agricultural Solutions invites interested governments, private sectorbusiness partners, donors, and framer organizations to join HAS in the fightagainst post-harvest loss and the control of aflatoxins.
