Tender: Food Loss and Methane Reduction Consultancy for Indonesian Rice Supply Chains

About

WRAP is seeking an experienced consultant/team to undertake a food loss and waste hotspot analysis across Indonesian rice supply chains, covering on-farm, collection points, storage, milling and processing, distribution/transport, retail and household, to collaboratively collect operational data (where feasible tonnes, value, and data necessary to estimate methane impact), identify root causes of loss and waste, recommend and implement practical, scalable interventions at 1-2 pilot sites (e.g., milling facilities), and measure post-implementation outcomes to quantify food waste reduction, methane emission co-benefits and operational performance against agreed indicators. The work may engage farmer groups to investigate plantation-stage practices that affect downstream waste, document any unavoidable losses or waste left in the field, recommend practical farm-level mitigations and linkages to post-harvest improvements, and must include a scalability plan demonstrating achievable impact from scaling the interventions across Indonesia’s rice supply chain.
