On-farm storage loss estimates of maize in Kenya using community survey methods
Hugo De Groote Anani Bruce (2023)
Maize is the most important staple in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), with highly seasonal production. High storage losses affect food security, but good estimations are lacking. A new method using focus group discussions (FGDs) was tested with 121 communities (1439 farmers, 52% women) in Kenya's six maize-growing zones, to estimate the maize losses to storage pests and analyze farmer practices. As control strategies, half of the farmers used chemical pesticides (49%), while hermetic bags (16%) and botanicals (15%) were also popular. Relative loss from weevils in the long rains was estimated at 23%, in the short rains 18%, and annually 21%. Fewer farmers were affected by the larger grain borer (LGB) than by maize weevils: 42% in the long rainy season and 32% in the short rainy season; losses from LGB were also smaller: 19% in the long season, 17% in the short season, and 18% over the year. Total storage loss, from both species combined, was estimated at 36%, or 671,000 tonnes per year. The greatest losses occur in the humid areas, especially the moist mid-altitudes (56%), and with smaller loss in the drylands (20–23%). Extrapolating the point data and overlaying with the maize production map shows the geographic distribution of the losses, with the most important area found around Lake Victoria. FGDs provide convenient and cheap tools to estimate storage losses in representative communities, but a total loss estimate of 36% is higher than is found in other studies, so its accuracy and framing effects need to be assessed. We conclude that storage pests remain a major problem, especially in western Kenya, and that the use of environmentally friendly technologies such as hermetic storage and botanicals needs more attention, both by the public extension service and private agrodealers.

New and improved maize hybrids, developed by the CIMMYT Global Maize Program, are available for uptake by public and private sector partners, especially those interested in marketing or disseminating hybrid maize seed across Eastern Africa and similar agro-ecologies in other regions. Each year, CIMMYT’s Global Maize Program conducts regional on-station and on-farm hybrid maize trials through a network of NARS and private seed companies in eastern and southern Africa under various management and environmental conditions. Promising maize hybrids developed by the CIMMYT-Africa team, along with relevant checks from private seed companies and National Agricultural Research Programs, are included in these trials. Phenotypic data collected in Stage 4 and Stage 5 trials for the selected hybrids from Product Profile 1A (PP1A) as well as information about the trial sites and management and environmental conditions are provided in this dataset.

New and improved maize hybrids, developed by the CIMMYT Global Maize Program, are available for uptake by public and private sector partners, especially those interested in marketing or disseminating hybrid maize seed across Eastern Africa and similar agro-ecological zones. Following rigorous trialing and a stage-gate advancement process and culminating in the 2022 Eastern Africa Regional On-Farm Trials, CIMMYT has advanced a total of 6 new elite maize hybrids, each of which met the stringent performance criteria for CIMMYT’s eastern Africa early (EAPP1B), intermediate (EAPP1A) or late (EAPP2) maize breeding pipelines. Phenotypic data collected in Stage 4 and Stage 5 trials for the selected hybrids as well as information about the trial sites are provided in this dataset. These trials were conducted through a network of partners, including NARES and private seed companies, in Eastern Africa under various management and environmental conditions.
