Without adequate storage, produce and grain harvested by farmers can quickly become infested with insects or fungi. An estimated 10-30% of worldwide annual food production is lost during post-harvest, aggravating hunger and resulting in wasted inputs such as fertiliser, irrigation water, and human labour.

To avoid this simple problem causing disastrous effects, the ZeroFly^® Storage Bag is specially designed to protect grains and seeds against insect infestations during storage. Unlike other pest-control solutions, the bag uses insecticides that are safe for both food handlers and consumers using Deltamethrin as the active ingredient - an approved pesticide by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO). Made from polypropylene, the environmentally-friendly bags protect produce from weevils, moths, bores and beetles. They're also easy to use, stackable and offer long-time protection, as they don't need to be replaced for up to two years.

According to the World Bank, a simple 1% reduction in post-harvest losses corresponds to a gain of USD 40 million, with farmers as key beneficiaries. The ZeroFly^® Storage Bag is a cheap and effective solution for farmers to protect their stock, and ensure more food security for a number of communities.
