The Ethiopian Post-Harvest Association continues to strengthen partnerships with government agencies, academic institutions, research centers, farmer cooperatives, and development organizations to advance sustainable post-harvest management across Ethiopia.

The collaboration focuses on expanding professional training, supporting research and innovation, promoting modern storage technologies, and improving access to technical resources for farmers and agricultural professionals. These joint efforts are designed to reduce food losses, enhance product quality, and increase the competitiveness of Ethiopian agricultural products in local and international markets.

Through strong partnerships and knowledge sharing, the Association aims to build a resilient agricultural sector that supports food security, economic growth, and sustainable rural livelihoods.

Agricultural professionals, researchers, policymakers, and development partners gathered at a national technical forum organized by the Ethiopian Post-Harvest Association to discuss innovative approaches for reducing post-harvest losses.

The forum highlighted the importance of improved storage technologies, climate-smart agricultural practices, digital monitoring systems, and value addition in strengthening Ethiopia’s agricultural value chains. Participants shared successful experiences, research findings, and practical recommendations that can be implemented by farming communities and agribusinesses.

The Association reaffirmed its commitment to promoting research, innovation, and collaboration as key drivers of sustainable agricultural development and food security.

The Ethiopian Post-Harvest Association (EPHA) has officially launched a nationwide capacity-building initiative aimed at strengthening post-harvest management practices across Ethiopia. The program brings together agricultural experts, extension workers, researchers, and farmers to promote modern technologies and best practices that reduce post-harvest losses and improve food quality.

Through a series of regional training sessions, technical workshops, and field demonstrations, participants will gain practical knowledge on improved harvesting, storage, packaging, transportation, and value addition. The initiative is expected to contribute to increased agricultural productivity, improved farmer incomes, and enhanced national food security.

The Association encourages government institutions, universities, development partners, and the private sector to collaborate in expanding access to sustainable post-harvest solutions throughout the country.
