Increased maize value chain efficiency in Rwanda
This project aims to improve the value chain of maize in Rwanda.
The maize currently produced, contains high levels of aflatoxin contamination, which poses a threat to consumer health. The project will contribute to the elimination of aflatoxin from Rwanda's maize value chain by making the post-harvest part of the value chain more efficient.
As a result, the postharvest losses will decrease, the nutritional value of the maize will be improved and the incomes of 30,000 farmers will be increased by 56% due to the higher value and prices of the maize.
