Crop storage is the procedure of putting away crops safely until it is dispatched to the markets or sold off.
Storing crops on a large scale often helps to solve food scarcity in the event of crop failure resulting from
flood, drought, etc.
Since moisture, insects, rodents, and microorganisms can damage food grains, it is vital to store them
carefully. Another reason why safe storage is so crucial is – food grains infested with microbes or insects
often lose their ability to germinate. Consequently, post-harvesting crops are dried thoroughly in the sun to
get rid of moisture. Similarly, to eliminate the risk of rodents, pesticides are used, while fumigation comes
in handy against bacterial infestation. Subsequently, crops are packed in gunny bags or deposited in storage
facilities.
On the other hand, fruits and vegetables are best for cold storage to prevent spoilage and discourage the
growth of microorganisms. It is noteworthy that fruits and vegetables must be stored in a clean cold store
with plenty of ventilation to keep them fresh for a long time. Hence, crop storage methods are of utmost
importance to keep food in good and usable condition.

a) What is crop storage?

b) Name the factors that damage crops.
c) How fruits and vegetables are stored?
d) Why is crop storage important?
