Sudan programs / Sudan transitional assistance for rehabilitation (STAR)
A post-harvest grain loss study in Maridi and Yambio counties, Western Equatoria, Southern Sudan was carried out from March to November 2001 in order to determine the extent of grain loss and the factors causing it in these surplus-producing areas. The study areas have experienced a shift in recent years from subsistence to commercial production as a result of agriculture recovery and local grain purchasing programs funded, in part, by USAID/OFDA. Individual sections of the study cover storage structures and practices, acreage and quantities of grain stored, grain condition and storage losses, and farmers' response to grain marketing problems. The study found that the shift in post-harvest practices has, in some cases, led to unnecessarily high levels of grain losses. Recommendations for curbing grain losses in these areas are offered in conclusion. (Author abstract, modified)
