๐ฑ We canโt fight hunger by producing more if nearly half is lost after harvest.
Recognizing this gap, FXB Rwanda & @E4impact_Rwanda , under the ๐ช๐บ co-funded #KungaharaFOSTERING project, trained youth representatives from 30 farmer cooperatives in @GakenkeDistrict & @MusanzeDistrict on Post-Harvest Management & Marketing.
With expert support from @kilimoEAC & @rikolto, participants gained hands-on skills in:
๐น Harvesting, sorting & grading
๐น Storage & transport handling
๐น Recordkeeping & buyer engagement
๐ Next step:
These trainers will replicate sessions at cooperative level โ helping farmers cut losses, boost quality & access better markets. ๐พ๐ช๐พ
๐ฌ โWhat farmers grow only matters if it survives the journey from field to market. Losses can be stopped โ but only if we act today.โ

Did you know that a few years ago, Orange Fleshed Sweet Potatoes (OFSP) were almost unheard of in some regions?
Thanks to successful trials of improved varieties, supported through the EU co-funded KUNGAHARA-FOSTERING Project, implemented by @FXBRwanda in partnership with @E4Impact_Rwanda, farmers today are reaping big results and transforming their communities.
One example is TURWANYUBUKENE Cooperative, one of 30 farmer cooperatives in Gakenke District.
This season alone, the cooperative has achieved an impressive 42 tons of Orange Fleshed Sweet Potatoes.
Beyond their high yields, OFSP are rich in Vitamin A and other essential nutrients that help fight malnutrition, especially among children and vulnerable households.
They also provide a reliable source of income for smallholder farmers, creating new opportunities for employment and strengthening local markets.
By diversifying crops and increasing resilience, OFSP are proving to be a game-changer for food security and community development.
Follow @FXBRwanda to stay tuned.
The effort of @FXBRwanda team in modern plantation shows advanced improvement done by the cooperatives.
