Training on Storage of Food Grains

Operations, Quality Control, Loss Prevention & Warehouse Management

India loses a significant percentage of food grains every year due to improper storage, handling, moisture damage, pests, and operational inefficiencies. The Training on Storage of Food Grains equips participants with practical skills to manage grain storage facilities efficiently, safely, and profitably, while ensuring food quality, regulatory compliance, and minimal post-harvest losses.

This course prepares candidates for operational, supervisory, and quality roles in food grain storage, warehousing, logistics, and agri-supply chain sectors.
