The economics of stock protection in peasant storage illustrated by the example of maize in South Togo.

The postharvest system for maize in Togo is analysed by a detailed study of quantities flowing through various channels from production to final consumption. Surveys and investigations carried out in 1986 are used to determine the amounts and causes of losses under various types of on-farm storage used by peasant farmers. A model study is used to compare the economic benefits of 13 different types of chemical or traditional crop protection with those of storage without protective measures. Finally recommendations are drawn up on appropriate methods of storage and crop protection under various different conditions.
