Integrated management of insect pests of stored grain in the Philippines
Publication Code:
IAS062
Price:
$20.00
This study looks at projects that focused on developing effective methods for treating stored grains for control of pests in several countries in South-East Asia, including the Philippines. There has been significant adoption of the outcomes, primarily by larger storage and handling sectors of the rice and other grain industries. The study found that the return on this significant investment by all parties was substantial, with a net present value of research gains to the Philippines of PHP65,544m or A$1,696m. This provides a benefit:cost ratio of approximately 174:1 and an internal rate of return of 46.6%.
