biostudies-literatureUnknown82Pretari AWe assess the impact of a package of post-harvest technologies on aflatoxin contamination of maize through a randomized trial in rural Kenya. Some elements of this package (training and provision of plastic sheets for sun-drying) were provided free of charge to all participants in treatment villages and were widely adopted. Others (a mobile drying service and hermetic storage bags) were provided free to a subset of randomly selected farmers in treatment villages while others had to pay. Overall, the intervention reduced aflatoxin contamination by over 50%. Most of this reduction appears to be due training and the use of drying sheets, the lowest-cost of all the technologies offered.Journal of stored products research31-39https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC7001978biostudies-literaturePost-harvest practices for aflatoxin control: Evidence from Kenya.PMC7001978Tian LHoffmann VPretari AfalsePost-harvest practices for aflatoxin control: Evidence from Kenya.We assess the impact of a package of post-harvest technologies on aflatoxin contamination of maize through a randomized trial in rural Kenya.
