Research
Answers built for our crops and our weather
Research that gets used
A lot is known about storing crops, but much of it was learned in other climates or stayed in reports.
We run our research in real storage conditions, with local varieties, and turn it into designs and advice people can act on.
Run the trial
Controlled trials on local crop varieties in real storage conditions.
Share the findings
Clear results on what each variety needs to last longer.
Put it to use
Findings turned into storage designs and practical guidance.
Research partnerships
We are looking for universities, research institutes, development organisations and companies to work with. Partner with us on a joint study, or contract us to run storage trials and field surveys for you.
We will share data and fieldwork so the results reach the people who store crops, not just the people who read reports.
Field surveys
We will design surveys and research questionnaires with the organisations we work with, and trained officers will run them on farms and in markets using EXTO.
Every response is checked for location and quality, then cleaned and analysed, so the findings hold up in research.
