This research was conducted to evaluation of Techno-economic feasibility of different Storage modes for Wheat and Maize. Techno-economic feasibility of different storage methods for wheat and maize was analyzed: 40 kg of samples were taken in different modes and stored for 12 months in all 15 untreated and treated storages. The maximum profit in wheat for T1, T2 and T3 were found as Rs. 254.0, 219.0 and 99.0 respectively. Whereas maize grain storage net profit was found Rs. 134.0, 99.0 & 19.0 in T1, T2 & T3 respectively. The result revealed that the use of Hermetic bag with jute bag, Hermetic bag with plastic bag and Metal bin with hermetic bags were the best and suitable for storage of wheat and maize grains up to twelve months. Farmers need to be trained while storing wheat and maize to get maximum profit from grain storage. As a result, adoption rates will rise if hermetic bag prices are decreased through increased knowledge and increased supply chain effectiveness.
