Our impact / Too good to lose
More went

than food.
A grower’s work. Care between hands.
The promise of a meal.
Food loss takes something from all of us.

One hundred avocados.
Every one accounted for.
Change the quantities at each stage. See how small losses accumulate—and how a second food use changes the destination.
Example only. These quantities explain the flow; they are not Kenyan loss rates or Wapishi results.
7 set aside at farm grading
5 more damaged in transport
4 more unused by the kitchen
Where the whole batch ends up
- Original meal
- 84
- Second food use
- 0
- Outside food use
- 16
84 + 0 + 16 = 100 avocados
How to read this diagram
Each row follows the same 100 avocados. The coloured segments retain quantities removed at earlier stages: do not add the rows together. Grading, transport and kitchen inputs are counts from the starting batch, not percentages of each remaining stage. This simple example treats each avocado as one unit; operational reporting should record consistent weights and destinations.
The second-food-use control redistributes the quantities set aside without changing how many reached the original meal. “Outside food use” can include composting or other non-food destinations as well as disposal; it does not mean all of that food went to landfill.
Evidence / Kenya
A range.
Not a stage-by-stage tally.
WRI’s 2025 report cites an estimated 30–40% lost or wasted between production and consumption. That describes the whole journey; it does not provide the stage counts in the example above.

something breaks.

What is at stake
The work behind
the harvest.
A harvest without a timely buyer can leave food unused before it leaves the farm. The grower’s work deserves a way forward.
Where Wapishi works
Connecting suppliers with commercial buyers. Clearer product expectations and conversations about what kitchens need help give the harvest a destination.
Supply food to Wapishi ↗These stages explain different causes of loss. They are not additional percentages to add to the national estimate.
The work behind the story
More food
finding its purpose.
Connecting growers to buyers. Paying attention to product quality. Coordinating storage, dispatch and the next order.
This is where Wapishi is working to make a difference.

Progress needs
a paper trail.
Connections are the work. Measured outcomes need records. This is a proposed reporting framework; Wapishi results have not yet been supplied for this preview.
Talk about measuring progress ↗| Area of work | Record | Compare |
|---|---|---|
| Sourcing & grading | Weight offered, accepted and set aside; reason and destination. | Comparable produce and grading requirements. |
| Handling & delivery | Weight dispatched, received and damaged; handoff records. | Comparable routes, products and handling conditions. |
| Kitchen supply | Weight received, used and left unused; reorder records. | Comparable menus, demand and reporting periods. |
| Alternative destinations | Verified weight reused as food, processed, composted or disposed of. | Documented destinations with no double counting. |
Every reported outcome needs a baseline, reporting period, scope and method. National estimates cannot stand in for those records.
Keep the evidence close
Big numbers.
Clear context.
The national challenge gives our work direction. Measured Wapishi outcomes will need their own baseline, method and reporting period.
KSh 72 billion / annual estimated loss
Kenya’s 2024–2028 postharvest strategy cites an extrapolated annual estimate for selected crop value chains, referring to FAO (2018). This is an estimate of the wider challenge, not a Wapishi savings figure.
Read the national strategy · page 20 ↗30–40% / the whole journey
The strategy describes this range from farm gate to family table. WRI’s 2025 report also cites a 30–40% estimate between production and consumption. Our 100-unit illustration represents that overall range, not a measured loss rate for tomatoes.
Read WRI’s 2025 research ↗Consumers are part of the story
UNEP’s Food Waste Index covers retail, food service and households. Kenya’s household evidence includes subnational studies with differing estimates. We have not turned those into an additional national percentage.

Progress means working toward regenerative agriculture, practical composting, stronger support for local farmers, and better management and visibility across the value chain.
