Mutaxassislik sohalari

Kartoshka qiymat zanjirini rivojlantirish va bozor tizimlari; urug'lik tizimlari va qishloq xo'jaligi texnologiyalarini joriy etish; o'rim-yig'imdan keyingi boshqaruv va oziq-ovqat yo'qotishlari va chiqindilari; agrobiznesni rivojlantirish va qiymat qo'shish; qishloq xo'jaligi tadqiqotlari va siyosat tahlili.

NIMA UCHIRIB?

Losses after harvest and weak market links reduce what growers earn from the crop they have already produced. For producers and traders in Kenya, a researcher who studies the potato value chain, from food loss and waste to mechanization and the use of rejected tubers, can explain what these findings mean in practice.
