Evolution of wheat storage methods
The article discusses the transformation of the wheat storage system in Egypt. It highlights the shift from using earthen granaries and exposed locations, which experienced spoilage rates of 10-15% before 2014, to the establishment of modern silo systems that ensure the safe preservation of wheat and support a strategic stockpile sufficient for approximately six months. This transition helps reduce losses caused by environmental factors such as rain and rodents, while also increasing the capacity to hold stock for longer periods. Among the new projects is the Western Port Silo at Port Said, with a total capacity of 100,000 tons. It features modern specifications that allow for the reception of 600 tons of wheat daily, and its overall capacity reaches 1.3 million tons through 13 operational cycles. This development enhances food security and reduces losses during inspection and storage.
