Post-harvest loss in tropical soybean systems: Brazilian managers' perceptions and mitigation strategies: two manuscripts
… about increasing food production and reducing post-harvest loss (PHL) become more pressing. An extensive literature on PHL focuses on developing alternatives to reduce loss through the adoption of new technologies in less developed countries. The previous research specifically targets small …

The effect of intermediary market power on grain prices in India and Brazil
Post-harvest loss is a major concern for global food security and the livelihoods of vulnerable small-holder farmers. Current research is limited in scope to merely estimating physical losses, which ignores the many effects of quality loss on value, food supply, health and safety, and ultimately, …

Impact of a Four Year Food Preservation Program in Bambey Senegal
… bath canning techniques to preserve surplus harvests and improve year round food availability. This study examined the impact of the Illuminate Project on household food security in Bambey, Senegal. Using a qualitative research design, data were collected through focus group discussions with …

Application of an agent-based modeling approach to study the postharvest loss of food grains in India
… the suggested daily value. However, ≈30% of harvested food is lost globally in the supply chain. India alone experiences ≈11-15 Mt of food grain postharvest loss (PHL) annually —enough for 1/3 of India’s food insecure population. Reduction of PHL can increase available food and prevent …

Optimizing construction and utilization of wheat storage facilities to minimize post-harvest losses
… often causes significant quantity and quality losses. These post-harvest losses are estimated to be as much as 20% of harvested wheat and a study by the Government of India puts the total preventable wheat losses at 10% of total production. These post-harvest wheat losses in developing …

Evaluating dry matter loss rates of 14 to 22% moisture content soybeans at 35°C using a dynamic grain respiration measurement system
Soybeans are biologically active after harvest, continuing to respire during storage and processing. Soybean respiration rate (v_(〖CO〗_2 )) and, thus, dry matter loss rate (v_DML) are affected by moisture content (w) and temperature (T). Knowledge of v_(〖CO〗_2 ) or v_DML is useful in developing …
