Abstract

The chapter reviews the current state of agriculture warehousing worldwide; this is particularly important in reducing postharvest losses and increasing food safety. It points to the economic and social consequences of faulty storage solutions in developing countries. It stresses the necessity for upgrading agricultural storage, sharing technologies, incorporating online storage, and applying modern storage facilities, especially among smallholder farmers. The issue of agri-warehousing, however, runs into numerous challenges in infrastructure, technologies, and regulatory frameworks in both developed economies as well as in emerging economies. Given the emphasis on theory, policy, and best practices, it is hoped that this chapter will provide a necessary foundation for better understanding of the agricultural warehouse system from a more practical perspective.
