This booklet is directed at the farm situation, providing advice that can be used to avoid mycotoxin contamination before food leaves the farm. The booklet describes what mycotoxins are, how they are produced and how to recognise signs of their presence. It provides advice to enable farmers to minimise the risk from mould contamination whilst the crop is growing, during harvest and through storage.
Although aimed at farm situations, the booklet is intended to be used by extension personnel, both government and non-government employees, in their efforts to advise and assist the rural communities. A separate booklet addresses issues related to transport, marketing and urban consumption.
