Slide of the month (SOTM) September. Fish waste in Ghana

Fish waste in ghana

For this slide of the month, our West Africa team has done in-depth research on the fish sector in Ghana. The value chain analysis shows that despite partly very modern and efficient fish production there is still a huge food loss during processing, packaging and logistics. This challenge means also a great potential for investments to reduce food waste where africon together with the SAVE FOOD initiative are strongly committed.

Please do not hesitate to contact us directly for any further information on this opportunity.
