Abstract on Economic Analysis of Post Harvest Losses Among Leafy Vegetable Marketers in Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State

The study examined economics of post harvest food losses involving three (3) varieties of leafy vegetables namely: Telfaria(Ugu leaf), Amaranthus(Green leaf ) and Pterocarpus(Oha leaf) in Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State. A random sampling technique was used to collect data on vegetable marketers’ socio-economic characteristics, types of post harvest losses, physical and monetary losses and the marketing margin accrued from the losses. Data were analysed with the aid of descriptive statistics (mean, percentage etc) and simple margin analysis. The result showed that women predominated in vegetable trading and most of the respondents have been in business for 6-10 years. The major causes of post harvest losses include physiological factors, mechanical damage and pest and diseases. Telfaria suffered greater incidence of post harvest loses (5.37%) while the losses in Amaranthus and Pterocarpus were 4.84% and 5.14% respectively. Based on the losses in the marketing margin, there was greater reduction in marketing margin of Telfaria (38%) than Amaranthus (35%) and Pterocarpus (11%) at the retailing level. Provision of improved mode of transportation, lower levies, and proper market sanitation is thereby recommended to minimize these losses.
