The government has procured 200 grain driers to help farmers manage their harvests and reduce post-harvest losses, Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi announced on Tuesday.

Linturi said the equipment are significant in realizing the government's vision of improving grain value chains and achieving 100 per cent food and nutrition security.
