ABSTRACT
Tanzanian smallholder farmers, lose up to 40% of their harvests due to poor handling and storage methods. Postharvest Losses (PHLs), are high for different crops, but are of particular concern for grains, especially cereal and pulses which form the base for food and income for the majority of households in the study area. The study objectives aimed at determining the adoption of different types of PHTs and PHPs used by farming households in Kongwa and Kondoa districts, by mapping types of communication channels related to post-harvest management organized and determining the influence of the mapped communication activities on the adoption of the PHTs and PHPs by farmers. The Cross-sectional research design was used to collect data. The population of the study area were 49,769 comprised of 30,615 smallholder farmers in Kondoa District and 19,144 farmers from Kongwa District.

Findings of the study observed that demographic variables included age, marital status and education level had a significant influence of (p
