Why is it necessary to protect grains from pests and moisture in storage?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To maintain grain quality, nutrition, and food security

Pests reduce both the quantity and quality of grains by feeding on them, making holes, and contaminating them. Moisture can cause fungal growth, spoilage, and make grains unsafe for consumption. Therefore, protection from pests and moisture preserves nutritional value, quality, and availability of food grains, supporting food security. Germination may occur in the presence of moisture, but it is not the purpose of safe storage. Exam tip: Link storage with pests, moisture, mould, reduced losses, and food security.
