Post-harvest

Some farmers in Nigeria have used local mud bricks to make a very effective cooling chamber for storing tomatoes

When you pick tomatoes, their quality starts to decrease, the best you can do is to slow down the reduction of quality

When you properly harvest your maize, it will be healthy and store longer

Some moulds that live in the soil can infest your crop when it suffers from drought. They can secrete deadly poisons, called aflatoxins

When not stored properly, maize spoils and loses its value, which reduces the farmer’s income
