Resumen
Descripción
Global attention was focused on food
price volatility in the aftermath of the global financial
crisis. Governments initiated policy measures to ensure food
security of populations, which included increasing food
reserves as well as measures to reduce food wastage,
including wastage due to poor storage and handling. One
solution identified by countries running large food security
programs was to introduce public-private partnerships (PPPs)
in food storage, especially for storage of grain. The
positive impacts of PPPs in this sector could be huge given
the inefficiencies in grain storage and the large proportion
of post-harvest wastage especially in the handling and
storage of grain in developing countries.
