Answer:
Definition
"Storage" means the phase of the post-harvest system during which the products are kept in such a way as to guarantee food security other than during periods of agricultural production.
The main objectives of storage can be summed up as follows:
at the food level, to permit deferred use (on an annual and multi-annual basis) of the agricultural products harvested;
at the agricultural level, to ensure availability of seeds for the crop cycles to come;
at the agro-industrial level, to guarantee regular and continuous supplies of raw materials for processing industries;
at the marketing level, to balance the supply and demand of agricultural products, thereby stabilizing market prices.
In order to attain these general objectives, it is obviously necessary to adopt measures aimed at preserving the quality and quantity of the stored products over time.
Influences of environmental factors
To conserve the quality of products over long-term storage, degradation processes must be slowed down or even stopped.
Degradation of grains during storage depends principally on a combination of three factors:
temperature,
moisture,
oxygen content.
During storage, as during other phases of the post-harvest system, the combined effects of these three factors can sometimes cause severe losses.
