The present brochure illustrates how international and national research institutions, bilateral and multilateral development cooperation projects, and the national agencies concerned, have cooperated intensively in developing new concepts for the post-harvest protection sector, and have thus contributed to successful problem-solving in this field. Thanks to this collaboration and its results, it was possible, for instance, to abate the problem of the accidental introduction to Africa of the Larger Grain Borer, thus preventing enormous post-harvest losses in maize and dried cassava. This has contributed substantially to food security in the affected countries. The list of successful outcomes is lengthy and shows that integrated post-harvest protection is a worthwhile investment that must have a firm place in efforts to promote sustainable agriculture.
