Farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa use storage structures that help maintain grain quality and safety. This study reviewed the use of different grain storage structures used by smallholder farmers in Zimbabwe namely granaries, metal silos, supergrain bags, polypropylene bags and cribs. Metal silos and supergrain bags, however costly, have hermetic properties that kill pests while granaries dilapidate with time. Cribs are susceptible to moisture entry, while polypropylene bags are prone to...
