Stored grain is subject to major biosecurity problems which have the potential to significantly reduce the quality of the stored grain and to make it unsuitable for both domestic and international markets. The problems include attack by insect pests, rodents, birds and pathogens like fungi, as well as contamination by weed seeds, mycotoxins and pest faeces.

The Grain Storage and Biosecurity Training project was conducted to meet a need expressed by the grains storage industry for an accredited training program to ensure industry personnel managing the storage of bulk grain have the required knowledge and skills to protect and preserve stored grains to meet market demands. The training program developed has built on a Grain Quality Protection Course previously delivered by Charles Sturt University.
