Minimizing aflatoxin production in grains in the tropics.

The occurrence of aflatoxins in grains in the tropics, associated health problems, economic impact and their control and management are discussed. It is concluded that recognition of the problems due to aflatoxins is the first step to implement appropriate programmes for their prevention and control. These include not only prevention of aflatoxin formation in agricultural commodities but also their removal through detoxification or decontamination. In addition, routine surveillance, regulatory measures to control the flow of aflatoxin-contaminated commodities in national and international trade, as well as information, education and communication activities are required.
