        abstract = {Post-harvest grain losses continue to be a concern for developing countries because of the lack of storage monitoring and the time taken to make corrective measures. Temperature differences, humidity, gas concentration, and poor ventilation increase fungal growth, insect development, and deterioration. This paper proposes a low-cost Internet of Things (IoT) system for grain storage monitoring in a warehouse setting with poor connectivity. The proposed system uses a network of sensor nodes to monitor temperature, relative humidity, grain level, smoke, and carbon monoxide concentration. The data from the sensors are processed locally using a microcontroller and displayed in real-time, allowing warehouse staff to make immediate preventive measures. The system is designed to be simple, scalable, and cloud or cellular network-independent, making it ideal for use in rural areas. The experimental results show that continuous monitoring of the storage conditions can prevent spoilage by allowing early detection of adverse storage conditions. The proposed system provides a feasible and cost-effective method for improving grain quality storage and preventing post-harvest grain losses.},
