Description:	Carrot loss at primary production comprises the loss that occurs during the harvesting and during the preparation of the produce for the market in the packing house. In this research it was estimated in 4 farms in Federal District, Brazil. From those, 2 are organic farms producing carrots in small areas, and 2 are large farms using conventional system. The surveys were initiated in 2019, interrupted during the Covid-19 pandemic and resumed in 2022. The total loss of carrot roots varied from 6.2% + 1.0% to 34.8% + 2.4% of the total production what corresponded to a mass of 1.000 kg/ha + 425 kg/ha to 22.947 kg/ha + 3.637 kg/ha.
