Grain stocking and storing in Benue State: an appraisal of the federal government of Nigeria's food grain storage policy
Article Abstract:
Analysis of the food grain storage policy of the Nigerian government in the state of Benue shows that around 99% of grain production goes to on-farm storage that happens to be the most inefficient method among three alternative ones. The other two are Federal and State storage. On-farm storage results in a high degree of wastage, which in turn influences prices upward to the detriment of low-income households.

An analysis of research on international operations networks
Article Abstract:
Recent studies on international operations networks published in 20 journals and conference papers are evaluated. Results show that there are no statistically significant differences in the subjects discussed and research methods used in the articles. The manufacturing strategy-based framework developed by Giffi, Roth and Seal was also the most useful in classifying international operations network studies.
