National Grain Storage Development and Extension (NGSE)

This investment focuses on expanding and improving on-farm grain storage, improving maintenance scheduling for storage infrastructure, improving best management practices to protect stored grain from insects, fungi, and mice, enhance product pricing through segregation and cleaning, reduce harvest freight costs, and improve health and safety practices. To achieve these goals, various extension approaches will be employed, including participatory action learning workshops, economic calculators, industry-based case studies, communication materials like factsheets, podcasts, presentations, webinars, and videos. Additionally, grower access to the 1800 WEEVEL support line and collaboration with the 'National resistance monitoring and management of stored grain pests' investment are crucial to this project.
