Abstract
Maize is the staple crop of Swaziland, but in recent years Swaziland has been unable to produce sufficient maize for its domestic needs and has had to import it. Postharvest losses in maize and other grains are believed to be high and several new systems of storage have been proposed. The objectives of this project are to determine the costs and benefits of existing storage systems being used on small farms and to evaluate the costs and returns to small farmers of new storage techniques in comparison with traditional systems.
