India Maize Summit 2015 - Session 6 - Adani Presentation on MaizeNCDEX Ltd.
Indian maize production is around 24 MMT annually and is growing 3-4% each year. However, 20% of the crop is lost after harvest due to improper drying and storage methods. Most Indian farmers still use sun drying, which results in uneven drying and degradation of quality. Improper storage at high moistures also leads to mold, aflatoxins, and spoilage. To reduce these post-harvest losses, India needs to establish mechanized mandis with silos, set up high-capacity mechanical dryers at mandi levels, and adopt bulk handling and storage logistics. This would fetch better prices for farmers while also improving the storage life and nutrition of maize.
Project Maize is a joint venture that covers 40,000 acres in Tamil Nadu, supplying maize, beetroot, and onions to domestic and export markets. Its vision is to be a prominent global supplier of corn.

This document summarizes corn production highlights from various Indian states presented at the India Maize Summit 2015.
Key highlights include:
- Telangana and Andhra Pradesh saw increases in corn area, production, and yield from 2012-2013 to 2013-2014. Coastal Andhra is distinguished as the highest daily corn productivity. Farmers incur costs from weeding and early shoot borers with mixed returns from rainfed vs irrigated crops.
- Bihar saw decreases in production and yield from 2012-2013 to 2013-2014, partly due to conversions of land to wheat. Rabi corn yields over 4000 kg/ha while kharif corn yields around 2000 kg/ha.
- Maharashtra
Many developing countries still have a significant quantity of land available that is well adapted to rain-fed crops – about as much as now is being farmed (over 1.7 billion acres). These lands do not include areas inhabited by human beings, forests, or protected areas.
If a country can produce and export biofuels, it will have a stronger economy and more resources to address the needs of the poor.
Africa, with its significant sugar cane/Cassava production potential, is often cited as a region that could profit from experience and technology, although obstacles to realizing it (infrastructure, institutional, etc.) should not be underestimated.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
