dc.description.abstractAbstract This study is aimed at determining the methods of storage of farm produce by farmers in two selected Local Government Areas of Niger State namely Paikoro and Bosso. Data was collected from 62 stratified randomly selected farmers, using structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive Statistics. The result of the study shows that the farmers in the study area make use of various techniques in storing the farm produce as an insurance against spoilage. The major methods of storage common in the area include Granaries/Rhumbu, Jute bags, barns and plastic bags. Sophisticated Technologies of farm storage like modern silos and refrigerators were uncommon due to poor investment of facilities by farmers in the area. Formation of cooperatives by the farmers to benefits from collective effort. Also subsidies in form of lower input costs should be extended to the farmers to ensure food security, self-sufficiency and self reliance.en_US
