> Yet only around 4.6-6% of total post harvest grain was lost due to storage reasons
This only accounts for the loss after the grain is procured and not the loss between harvest and procurement. Given the practical challenges of measuring this, I doubt there's any quality data. I can only speak anecdotally but news reports about losses from poor makeshift storage arrangements while waiting for procurement are frustratingly common.
- subtra3t 3y agoIn a country as large as India, the frequency of such losses is bound to be greater than other countries. And a lot of channels exaggerate most news since it is hard to find actual news-worthy incidents that also happen to fit their agenda (which may be pro/anti BJP/congress, etc).
