Abstract

Reducing food losses presents an opportunity to enhance food security, minimize waste, and improve profitability within the production sector. Creating awareness among various stakeholders in the value chain about the significance of reducing postharvest losses is a fundamental step in this discussion. This article addresses the Postharvest Loss Information System (SIPPOC) development and applicability. SIPPOC encompasses tools designed to facilitate understanding food loss occurrences across different supply chain segments. The article provides insights into the tools incorporated within the information system and describes its historical background and protocol for database updates. In essence, SIPPOC enables the analysis of food loss throughout diverse logistical stages, thereby aiding in identifying critical points and implementing targeted actions for loss reduction. Drawing on SIPPOC data, the article further examines losses within the logistics chain by comparing potato, tomato, and mango agricultural productions.
