Safe Storage: Mitigating losses through optimized Grain Management

About

Minimizing losses and maximizing the yield is the ultimate goal of every food and feed processor. Modern food and feed processing plants are equipped with the latest technology and even small deviations in yield are easily detectable. The possibilities to further increase the yield in these processes are thus limited. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), about 1.3 billion tons (approximately 30%) of food are globally wasted or lost per year and even though losses due to poor storage facilities and practices have a significant share, they are still often neglected.

This webinar will shed some light on how proper grain management and safe storage can help to minimize losses and safeguard the final product quality.
