Food Grain Godown and Warehouse Management is a comprehensive and practical guide dedicated to the efficient and scientific storage of food grains—a critical component of food security, supply chain integrity, and post-harvest management in agricultural economies like India. With agriculture forming the backbone of national livelihood and sustenance, this book equips readers with the knowledge required to ensure that harvested grains are preserved safely and sustainably from farm gate to consumer.
Covering all stages of warehouse operations—from grain intake and quality grading to safe storage, pest management, and distribution logistics—the book explains essential practices for maintaining the nutritional value and market readiness of grains. It emphasizes optimal environmental control, inventory handling, stacking methods, fumigation protocols, and compliance with regulatory standards.
The text also explores the role of modern technologies, including automation, real-time inventory tracking, and digital warehousing systems that reduce human error and enhance operational efficiency. Practical illustrations, real-world case studies, and insights into policy and institutional frameworks make this book an essential tool for warehouse managers, agricultural officers, supply chain professionals, and students of agriculture and food storage management.
By promoting best practices and sustainable strategies, the book contributes to reducing grain loss, supporting farmer income, and stabilizing food prices—all of which are central to national economic and food policy goals.
