The four-day training programme, which began on Wednesday in Sapele, aimed to equip farmers with requisite knowledge on how to manage post harvest losses in the region.
In her opening remarks,  the Executive Director, NSPRI, Patricia Pessu, said that the training programme  was aimed at stepping down knowledge on post harvest management, through the ADP staff, to rural farmers, noting that post harvest losses had a significant effect on the economy.
She said that about 30 per cent of grains, such as maize, sorghum, millet, cowpea and  root and tuber crops such as yam, cassava and potatoes were lost post harvest in the country.
