Abstract

AbstractStorage research, especially at small‐farm level, makes too little impact on policy, largely for want of evidence that the benefits of grain savings – especially to the poor and hungry – justify the costs of improved structures. The paper describes a pilot survey of the costs and benefits of alternative means of paddy storage in two South Indian villages. Preliminary results suggest that subsequent, ongoing work in a larger sample of villages will justify substantial outlays on improved stores for small farmers and even landless labourers.
