According to FAO, the key causes of food loss and waste (FLW) during aquaculture are:
- Poor harvesting practice
- Mortality of fish during live fish marketing, as well as fish sold at a lower price point due to, for example, the presence of some damage
- Poor handling leading to contamination and physical damage
- Lack of cold chain
- Rejection of product due to food safety risks or inappropriate documentation
In AGAPE, through innovative reskilling and upskilling approaches will address these causes to reduce food loss and food waste.
