INTRODUCTION AND
IMPROVEMENT OF POST-
HARVEST AND GRAIN STORAGE
SYSTEMS IN THE BAY REGION-
SOMALIA
Presented at the Regional Workshop on Dryland
Farming Practices in Emergency and Post-
Emergency Context
October 6-7, 08

(SATG) Somali Agriculture
Technical Group
OVERVIEW
 Introduction
 Post-harvest losses
 Grain storage systems
 Experiences and lessons learned from other
regions within the country using improved
storage system
 A proposed plan for improving post-harvest
and storage losses in the in the Bay Region
(SATG) Somali Agriculture
Technical Group
Introduction
 Sorghum is the major
crop
 Production is low due
to to:
 Moisture stress
 Lack of inputs
 Pre-harvest
constraints
 Post-harvest and
storage limitations
(SATG) Somali Agriculture
Technical Group
Post-harvest Losses
 Post-harvest and storage grain losses are
estimated as 20-30% of the total production.
 In Southern Somalia, this translates to economic
losses ranging between 50,000 and 80,000
tones per year
 corresponding to an estimated value of US$ 15
and 25 million, respectively.
 These losses are mainly due to lack of proper
handling of the crop soon after harvest and the
use of the traditional storage structures
(SATG) Somali Agriculture
Technical Group
Grain Storage systems
I- traditional
 Underground pits –
most commonly used
II- Others
 Sacks
 Drums (metal and
plastic)
 bags
(SATG) Somali Agriculture
Technical Group
Tradition Storage system
Factors contributing to grain storage losses
in underground pits:
 Temperature
 Humidity
Higher temperature and higher humidity provide
optimum conditions for disease development
and spread
(SATG) Somali Agriculture
Technical Group
Tradition Storage system
Problems
 Migration of moisture
from the surrounding soil
walls
 Exposed to heavy rains
and floods
 Development of fungi and
insects
 Conducive conditions for
rodents
 Multiplication of fungi
called Aspergillus –
deadly to humans
(SATG) Somali Agriculture
Technical Group
Tradition Storage system
 Grain discoloration
 Loss of grain quantity and quality traits
(SATG) Somali Agriculture
Technical Group
Tradition Storage system
Post-emergency study conducted in the Bay
Region by GTZ indicate that in all tested
pits, moisture and temperature were
conducive for fungal development,
therefore, grains had potential aflatoxins
contamination
(SATG) Somali Agriculture
Technical Group
Tradition Storage system
How to improve the traditional system?
1. Improving post-harvest practices
2. Improving the storage system
(SATG) Somali Agriculture
Technical Group
Tradition Storage system
I. Improving post-harvest practices
 Moulded and damaged grain should be
separated
 Improved sun drying
 Rapid collection in case of excessive rain
 Transportation (grain damage and spelling)
 Packing, loading and handling
(SATG) Somali Agriculture
Technical Group
Tradition Storage system
II. Improving the
traditional system
 Coating pit wall with
maize/sorghum sticks
or plastic sheets
 Digging drainage
system around the pits
 Establishment of pits
in elevated position
(SATG) Somali Agriculture
Technical Group
Experience and lessons learned
Storage in drums and plastic containers
 Gaining popularity in parts of southern Somalia
and Somaliland)
 Inaccessible to rodents, efficient against insects
and sealed against entry of water
 Grain conserve their market quality and value for
up to 5 years
 Significant reduction in post-harvest losses
 In 2007, 78% of the beneficiary farmers in
Somaliland were found utilizing the new drum
system
(SATG) Somali Agriculture
Technical Group
Experience and lessons learned
Disadvantages:
 Limited capacity
(max. 200 kg)
 In high agriculture
potential areas like
the Bay region, bigger
storage capacity will
be required
(SATG) Somali Agriculture
Technical Group
Household metal silos
 Proposed storage
technology for the Bay
Region
 Similar in concept to the
drum storage
 Has been tested in many
countries with
measurable success
 It has helped many
African countries reduce
storage losses
 It can be built locally with
different sizes of storage
capacity
(SATG) Somali Agriculture
Technical Group
Household metal silos
 It’s simple, efficient
and can store grain
for longer period of
time without altering
grain quality
 Will farmers to store
grain and sell product
when the market price
is high
(SATG) Somali Agriculture
Technical Group
Household metal silos
Target groups
 The farmers within the project area
 artisans/craftsmen
 Somali agriculture professionals and
technicians involved in the implementation of
the action
(SATG) Somali Agriculture
Technical Group
Household metal silos
The process:
 Train master trainers on silos construction
 Train artigans from different villages
 Organize field tours and demonstrations
 Train farmers on proper use of the silos
 Establishment of artigan centres
 Promotion of the new technology through
available media outlets
(SATG) Somali Agriculture
Technical Group
Summary
 Improvement of pos-harvest and storage
facilities are cost effective and contribute to food
security
 Improved storage will allow a continues supply
of food throughout the year either for domestic
consumption or for trade
 It will provide a reserve for contingencies such
as drought
 Allow the farmers to sell at a time when prices
are favorable
 Will reduce the exposure to aflatoxins

  • 1. (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group INTRODUCTION AND IMPROVEMENT OF POST- HARVEST AND GRAIN STORAGE SYSTEMS IN THE BAY REGION- SOMALIA Presented at the Regional Workshop on Dryland Farming Practices in Emergency and Post- Emergency Context October 6-7, 08 Nairobi, Kenya HUSSEIN HAJI
  • 2. (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group OVERVIEW  Introduction  Post-harvest losses  Grain storage systems  Experiences and lessons learned from other regions within the country using improved storage system  A proposed plan for improving post-harvest and storage losses in the in the Bay Region
  • 3. (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Introduction  Sorghum is the major crop  Production is low due to to:  Moisture stress  Lack of inputs  Pre-harvest constraints  Post-harvest and storage limitations
  • 4. (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Post-harvest Losses  Post-harvest and storage grain losses are estimated as 20-30% of the total production.  In Southern Somalia, this translates to economic losses ranging between 50,000 and 80,000 tones per year  corresponding to an estimated value of US$ 15 and 25 million, respectively.  These losses are mainly due to lack of proper handling of the crop soon after harvest and the use of the traditional storage structures
  • 5. (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Grain Storage systems I- traditional  Underground pits – most commonly used II- Others  Sacks  Drums (metal and plastic)  bags
  • 6. (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Tradition Storage system Factors contributing to grain storage losses in underground pits:  Temperature  Humidity Higher temperature and higher humidity provide optimum conditions for disease development and spread
  • 7. (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Tradition Storage system Problems  Migration of moisture from the surrounding soil walls  Exposed to heavy rains and floods  Development of fungi and insects  Conducive conditions for rodents  Multiplication of fungi called Aspergillus – deadly to humans
  • 8. (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Tradition Storage system  Grain discoloration  Loss of grain quantity and quality traits
  • 9. (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Tradition Storage system Post-emergency study conducted in the Bay Region by GTZ indicate that in all tested pits, moisture and temperature were conducive for fungal development, therefore, grains had potential aflatoxins contamination
  • 10. (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Tradition Storage system How to improve the traditional system? 1. Improving post-harvest practices 2. Improving the storage system
  • 11. (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Tradition Storage system I. Improving post-harvest practices  Moulded and damaged grain should be separated  Improved sun drying  Rapid collection in case of excessive rain  Transportation (grain damage and spelling)  Packing, loading and handling
  • 12. (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Tradition Storage system II. Improving the traditional system  Coating pit wall with maize/sorghum sticks or plastic sheets  Digging drainage system around the pits  Establishment of pits in elevated position
  • 13. (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Experience and lessons learned Storage in drums and plastic containers  Gaining popularity in parts of southern Somalia and Somaliland)  Inaccessible to rodents, efficient against insects and sealed against entry of water  Grain conserve their market quality and value for up to 5 years  Significant reduction in post-harvest losses  In 2007, 78% of the beneficiary farmers in Somaliland were found utilizing the new drum system
  • 14. (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Experience and lessons learned Disadvantages:  Limited capacity (max. 200 kg)  In high agriculture potential areas like the Bay region, bigger storage capacity will be required
  • 15. (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Household metal silos  Proposed storage technology for the Bay Region  Similar in concept to the drum storage  Has been tested in many countries with measurable success  It has helped many African countries reduce storage losses  It can be built locally with different sizes of storage capacity
  • 16. (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Household metal silos  It’s simple, efficient and can store grain for longer period of time without altering grain quality  Will farmers to store grain and sell product when the market price is high
  • 17. (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Household metal silos Target groups  The farmers within the project area  artisans/craftsmen  Somali agriculture professionals and technicians involved in the implementation of the action
  • 18. (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Household metal silos The process:  Train master trainers on silos construction  Train artigans from different villages  Organize field tours and demonstrations  Train farmers on proper use of the silos  Establishment of artigan centres  Promotion of the new technology through available media outlets
  • 19. (SATG) Somali Agriculture Technical Group Summary  Improvement of pos-harvest and storage facilities are cost effective and contribute to food security  Improved storage will allow a continues supply of food throughout the year either for domestic consumption or for trade  It will provide a reserve for contingencies such as drought  Allow the farmers to sell at a time when prices are favorable  Will reduce the exposure to aflatoxins
