Effects of storage losses and grain management practices on storage: evidence from maize production in Benin
D Kadjo, JE Ricker-Gilbert, CE Alexander, A Tahirou - 2013 - ageconsearch.umn.edu
This study uses nationally representative data from 360 farm households in Benin to
estimate how access to storage technologies and storage losses from insects affects a
smallholder African farmer's decision to hold grain from production, in an environment of
high price variability. We find that access to storage chemicals increases the average
amount stored by 196 kilograms with results approaching statistical significance. Farmers
who use plastic bags store 293 kilograms less grain on average, likely because bags are …
