The IDRC experience with post-harvest research support for oilseeds can be grouped into categories concerning household level soybean utilisation; small to medium scale expelling of oilseeds; linking post-harvest concerns to the work of the Oil Crops Research Network (ORN); improving the performance of national vegetable oil/protein production-to-consumption systems; networking the COMESA Region to improve the performance of the regional production-to-consumption system (pcs); and modelling of production-to-consumption systems.
