In the modern world, the problem of storing grain crops and their processed products plays a vital role in ensuring food security. One of the key aspects of preserving grain quality is monitoring heat and moisture exchange processes in storage facilities. Monitoring and forecasting these processes are becoming an integral part of modern storage technologies, allowing to improve storage conditions, reduce product losses, and ensure stable grain quality throughout the entire storage period. This article will consider the main aspects of monitoring and forecasting heat and moisture exchange processes during storage of grain products and their importance for the agro-industrial complex. When analyzing the experimental work, mainly wheat grains were obtained.
