ABSTRACT
As far as current trends in provision of information and training to farmer training are concerned, respondents were unsatisfied with existing levels of support. They had a long list of needs. These included more information about weather conditions (particularly during the harvest period), better moisture measurement, better storage techniques (including using pesticides during storage) and better market information. Farmers expressed their eagerness to receive training in the future in these areas. When it came to training on post-harvest losses, more than half of the respondents (58%) claimed they had not received training or information in any form on post-harvest loss prevention.
