Preventing Food Loss in Kenya's Largest Mango Processing County

Preventing Food Loss in Kenya's Largest Mango Processing County

With more than four million mango trees, Makueni County is the top mango-growing county in Kenya. However, until 2017, 30 to 40 percent of its mangoes went to waste. The USAID Resilience Learning Activity, under the Feed the Future Kenya Livestock Market Systems Activity (a Leader with Associates contracting mechanism held by ACDI/VOCA), partnered with the county government to reduce losses to 35 percent by 2023. Together, USAID and its partners helped fruit processors improve their businesses through the South Eastern Kenya Coordination Mechanism.
