A don with the Federal University of Technology (FUT), Minna, Prof.
(Mrs.) Zinash Delebo Osunde, has suggested measures to avoid
post-harvest losses by farmers and promote employment generation.
Prof Osunde of the Department of Agricultural and Bio-resources Engineering of the university said to avoid the losses, entrepreneurs should be ready to invest in agricultural processing industry and mass production of equipment developed by researchers in the country.
She gave this advice when she delivered the Inaugural Lecture of the university entitled ‘Agricultural Product Value Addition for Food Security, Job Creation and Poverty Alleviation, at the Caverton Lecture Hall, Main Campus of the university.
She stated that post-harvest losses can be reduced to the barest minimum if more entrepreneurs invest in improved post-harvest technologies to mitigate the situation.
She further stated that processing, storage technologies and mass production of equipment developed by researchers should be given encouragement to avoid losses associated with agricultural practice in the country.
