Improved grain storage in Bangladesh
Farmer Sahiruddin Mohammad shows off his healthy stored wheat grain. Mohammed, of Chapor village in the district of Dinajpur, Bangladesh, is now able to store his grain year-round without worrying about storage pests. This means that he is able to choose when he sells his wheat and so get a better price for it, as well as keeping enough for his family's own consumption. He is one of the beneficiaries of a collaboration between CIMMYT; the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute's Wheat Research Centre in Dinajpur; and local NGOs, in improving, subsidizing, and advising farmers on equipment for grain storage.
