摘要:If you’re a rice farmer anywhere in
Asia, you are likely to experience
high postharvest grain losses.
Total losses from harvest to
market can reach 30–50%, which
means that, conservatively, farmers

four-member farming family, an
additional $30 can go a long way.
Studies by the International
Rice Research Institute (IRRI)

poor storage, poorly maintained
