Grain Storage - Solutions
Storage of agricultural commodities during post
harvest season is determined by crop yields and prevailing market prices during
harvest season.
Benefits of on-farm storage exceed initial investment
costs involved, as farmers are able to hold on to their harvest, avail the benefits
of pledge financing and realize higher prices for the commodities in the long-run.
SIGO offers cost-effective and sturdy storage solutions
for cereals and coarse grains, which protect grain from all weather conditions and
keep grain fresh and in condition for years.
