Technological Advancement in Food Production and Management and its Implications on Food Security: A Case Study of Rice and Maize Products in Tanzania

/ Publications / Technological Advancement in Food Production and Management and its Implications on Food Security: A Case Study of Rice and Maize Products in Tanzania

Publisher : REPOA
Author(s) : Edwin Tito Magoti, Lemiani Makori Alais

Research Report

The study intended to analyse the impact of technology adoption in the production and management of staple foods, particularly maize, and rice, and its corresponding implications on food security, as well as post-harvest losses. The study was motivated by the premise that, although most literature explores the importance of adopting technology on post-harvest losses, few studies have examined how technology adoption through the entire production and storage chain (a range of technologies in each stage), and its impacts on food security and post-harvest loss.

Among others, the findings showed that adoption of technology is low for rice producers and relatively higher for maize farmers. Further, the findings confirm that technological adoption in production increases farm productivity and it has a desirable impact on food security. However, the adoption of technology during storage is not significant in impacting food security and post-harvest losses.
