- Food grains and oilseeds must be dried to a specific moisture content for safe storage.

- Drying them reduces the risk of spoilage and prevents mold growth.

- Option 2: 7-11% is closer to the safe storage level for some grains.

- Option 3: 4-6% is too low and usually unnecessary for most grains and seeds.

- Option 4: 16-18% still poses a risk of spoilage.

- Option 5: 10-14% is often the ideal range, balancing safety without being excessively dry.
