Benin: Poor storage threatens cereal harvest
COTONOU: Benin's cereal production is expected to be 45 percent higher than last year, but poor storage ruins an estimated 40 percent of the annual harvest, according to UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO).
"The same effort we are putting into production is not going into conservation," said Benin's FAO representative, Jean Prosper Koyo. "It is not enough to just produce, but the surplus needs to be stockpiled."
He added: “Storage is important so that products can be processed here. We cannot export all of the raw production."
