Of 34 samples collected at lifting, 13 were contaminated with aflatoxins and 8 had aflatoxin levels >30 µg/kg. Of 30 samples collected after drying, 10 had aflatoxins and 4 had >30 µg/kg. Of 10 samples collected from traders, only 2 had aflatoxin contamination. Aflatoxin G1 was predominant in samples collected at lifting and aflatoxin B1 in samples collected from traders.
