The Philippine government launched the Grains Production Enhancement Program (GPEP) in selected areas of the country most suited for grain production leaving the less productive areas for the production of commercial or cash crop. One of the projects under this program is the loss of rice and corn grains from harvest until storage and compare these figures with losses estimated from researches conducted in the Philippines. In the future, periodic surveys will be done to assess the progress of postharvest technology in the country.
