GrainPro to address agri storage woes
The GrainPro portable granary, a reliable and quick-to-setup hermetic
storage system was launched by Agri Genesis Lanka Pvt Ltd. This storage
system addresses the multiple issues of the country's agricultural
storage problems and woes.
The GrainPro portable granary or GrainPro cocoon is an ideal way to
store all types of grains and seeds including paddy, corn, wheat and
even herbs, spices, beans, lentils, coffee, cocoa, dried fruits, flour
and nuts. Its hermetic storage preserves the germination potential of
seeds for many months.
The cocoons are made of heavy duty, weather resistant and reinforced
PVC, and, are resistant to gas, moisture, water and UV. They come in
different sizes to suit varying needs-from 01 metric ton to 1000 metric
tons. There are also the one ton grain safe and the smaller super grain
bags.
General Manager of Agri Genesis Lanka Pvt Ltd Samud Gunesekara said
that Sri Lanka produces around 2.6 Mn metric tons of paddy during the
Maha season and 1.7 Mn metric tons during the Yala season. This amounts
to 4.3 million MT annually. Records indicate that around 15 to 20
percent of paddy perishes annually due to poor storage.
