In South Sudan, smallholder farmers lose over 40% of their produce due to inappropriate post harvest handling practices. WFP is working with the private sector and partners to train farmers and enhance access to appropriate post harvest handling technologies.

WFP scaling up local procurement. Together with Procurement colleagues met grain traders to draw strategies of linking smallholder farmers to WFP’s local procurement.

Today, WFP procurement colleagues and I met over 10 traders in Juba to introduce them to our new planned pro-smallholder procurement modality. The new modality seeks to boost local economy and create demand through the home grown school feeding Programme.

First rains fell today in Lopeat, Eastern Equatoria 🇸🇸, hit by drought in 2021 causing families to flee north from hunger.

Rains have been late this year and may prolong the cycle of hunger. Nachopera, single mother and farmer, worries about a future without food #ClimateCrisis
