在农业生产过程中,农产品收获后的管理工作占据着相当重要的地位。对于象印度这样一个农业国来说,适当而安全的谷物贮藏设施是必不可少的。因为在印度大量的谷物损失都是由昆虫、鼠类、潮湿霉烂及鸟类所造成的。印度的粮食年产量约为1.3亿吨,据估计每年由于霉烂变质或虫害鼠害而损耗掉的就有800万吨之多。这对小农家庭来说损失尤为显著。为此,海坡印度谷物贮藏研究所为城乡地区研制了容量为350公斤的家用金属仓。 In the agricultural production process, the management of agricultural products after harvest occupies a very important position. For an agricultural country like India, proper and safe cereal storage facilities are essential. Because a lot of cereal losses in India are caused by insects, rats, damp mildew and birds. India’s annual grain output is about 130 million tons, and it is estimated that there are as much as 8 million tons lost each year due to mildew or pests. This is especially notable for smallholder families. To this end, the Hipo India Institute of Cereal Storage has developed a household metal bin with a capacity of 350 kg for urban and rural areas.
