The issue of food losses is very important in efforts to fight hunger, increase incomes and improve food security in the poorest countries of the world. Food losses affect the food security of the poor, food quality and safety, economic development and the environment. The research was conducted in the state agricultural market “La Vallita”, located on Garzón Avenue in the city of Santiago de Cuba, from September 2018 to April 2019. The purpose of this research is to determine the causes of the losses of agricultural products develop a strategy to reduce losses and waste of food for internal use of the market to raise the standard of service and finally quantify economically the losses and waste of food during the investigation period to implement measures that reduce the same. The losses and waste of food occur mainly due to failures in the productive system.
