More specifically, the services address issues related to post harvest systems in the food sector, covering post harvest technology, food availability and accessibility, food safety and quality, and improved market access for developing countries.

Recent regulations and private sector standards in the food sector present new challenges for developing country exporters of horticultural products.

The WFP has made significant investments in the agricultural sector in order to strengthen food security among impoverished farmers and to improve agricultural productivity and incomes.

In the food sector, these services are intended to help developing countries reduce high post harvest losses and increase levels of value added.
