SCALING OF HERMETIC POST HARVEST STORAGE TECHNOLOGIES AMONG SMALLHOLDER FARMERS
Description
Scaling postharvest hermetic storage by identifying finance mechanisms to accelerate adoption and use of hermetic postharvest storage technologies among smallholder farmers.
Related objectives include the following:
● create or sustain demand for hermetic storage bags,
● enable households to effectively use such technologies through improved post-harvest cash flow and longer periods of hermetic grain storage, and,
● leave a market-viable mechanism for farm households to continue to access hermetic technologies once the donor-funded activity is completed.
