Farm level processing, storage and utilization of maize in Bangladesh.

Maize is a highly versatile crop which has multiple uses. However, although production technology is available, its adoption by Bangladeshi farmers is low. This paper assesses the existing storage methods and the losses incurred in storage; studies the consumption pattern; examines the processing methods and concomitant costs; and suggests future research priority areas. A survey was made of 117 farmers in four districts who were interviewed by pre-designed questionnaire. It was found that farmers store grain in jars, tins and pots. Extensive pest-proof storage facilities are needed and postharvest shelling and drying facilities need improvement.
