| Description: |
Scaling postharvest hermetic storage by identifying finance mechanisms to accelerate adoption and use of hermetic postharvest storage technologies among smallholder farmers.Related objectives include the following:● create or sustain demand for hermetic storage bags,● enable households to effectively use such technologies through improved post-harvest cash flow and longer periods of hermetic grain storage, and,● leave a market-viable mechanism for farm households to continue to access hermetic technologies once the donor-funded activity is completed. |
