- Abstract
Grain security has been a significant concern over the decades since global food consumption is almost entirely grain-based, especially in developing countries. Food security can be achieved if grain security, as a prerequisite, is met. However, grain security for a country is not only a production issue but also a complex distribution problem, including postharvest issues. The problem of postharvest improvement in maintaining the quantity and quality of production can be solved through the application and development of research and innovation. This paper aims to systematically plot the output of scientific research on postharvest technology to overcome the grain crisis using a quantitative review technique called bibliometric analysis. Data was taken from the Scopus database and analyzed using VOSviewer software. Out of 2204, only 95 keywords from 314 articles met the threshold and were analyzed. The results show that the topic of storage (grain/food storage) received considerable attention from 2007 to 2021, featured in 70 articles with 396 total link strengths. Furthermore, one of the most cited research topics recently relates to using various scientific storage methods to reduce grain postharvest losses in developing countries, with 227 citations from 2017 to 2021. In general, researchers can use this study to examine trends and the direction of future research topics quantitatively.
