🧠 Problem Title: Lack of Proper Storage Facilities Leading to Post-Harvest Loss of Agricultural Produce
📝 Problem Description

After harvesting crops, proper storage is essential to maintain quality and prevent spoilage. However, it is often observed that many farmers do not have access to adequate storage facilities such as warehouses, cold storage units, or proper grain storage systems., Due to limited storage options, farmers may have to store their produce in open areas or temporary structures that do not provide protection from moisture, pests, or weather conditions. This can lead to damage, spoilage, or loss of crops over time., I have observed that in some areas, harvested grains and vegetables are stored in open or poorly protected spaces, increasing the risk of damage. In such situations, farmers may also be forced to sell their produce quickly at lower prices to avoid further loss., This problem highlights the gap between agricultural production and post-harvest management infrastructure. Improving storage facilities is important to reduce wastage, protect farmers’ efforts, and ensure better utilization of food resources.
