Post Harvest Management
Technology used elsewhere is not
necessarily the best for use under
conditions in India
PRSERVATION
OR
Containment of Post
Harvest Loss
Many of the recent developments in
post-harvest technology have come
about in response to the need to
economize on labor, materials, and
energy use, and to protect the
environment.
•Latest jargon is “PHL”

Why Silo projects have not created replicas
• Mega Silo Structures without any state subsidy
can be successful when the other activities in the
supply chain also develop
• Incoming : Mega Silo being filled in by opening
bagged cargo result in operational incompatibility
• Outgoing: Rail Rakes being filled again by re-bagging
the bulk cargo will AGAIN create incompatibity
• Individual projects have remained only as pilots

World’s Oldest Mega Grainery for
Post Harvest Management
Faults the economic
thinking for failing to
consider the most
appropriate scale for
an activity
Location :Patna
Capacity :140,000 MT
Year: 1786
Raises the question on
the
notion
that
“Bigger is Better"
POSTCOSECHA Programme (1983-2003) in Central America
has been a success. Approximately 336,000 tons of grain
worth US$ 75 milo could be saved from loss.

Suggested Post Harvest Mgmt. Models
• Homegrown solutions and need based scales
• Labour efficiency by optimum used of technology
• Use of material for structures suited for the
climatic regions
• Cost Efficiency from farm-gate to warehouse &
warehouse to destination
• Nationwide Post Harvest Loss Grid and plugging
the gaps
• Grading Sorting and Testing
Coming together is a beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
Working together is success
