Abstract

Grain can also be called food (different names in different regions) being a necessity for any human being to survive on the planet, making us recompense more attention to storage and prevention from impairment to full fill the requirements of mankind. The overall objective of grain storage is to preserve the quality, including nutritive value, and to keep the grains in good condition for marketing and processing, thereby reducing product and financial losses. In this paper, we shall discuss the challenges associated with corn grain storage across the nation and offer solutions to prevent their storage from engineering perspective to satisfy the production demand by meeting the market requirements. We have also identified some factors that can be beneficial to the owner/responsible personnel towards making sure we have demanded grain available desired time and quantity.

Keywords: Corn Grain; Temperature; Moisture Control; Infrastructure; Storage
