An attempt has been made to measure the type and extent of post harvest wheat grain losses alongwith the factors contributing to the same. Post harvest losses seem to be a neglected aspect of farm profile in Pakistan. These losses donot mere!y generate negative repercussions for the farmers, but also have serious effects on the economy. Although the occurrence of food losses at the farm level during performance of various operations are inevitable yet the reduction in their extent can enhance the food supplies without planting an extra hectare of wheat crop. Knowledge of the type and magnitude. of various losses is essential for framing policies helpful in reducing these losses.
