The Grain Silo is a sealed metal storage system designed for long-term, pest-resistant storage of maize, sorghum, rice, and other grains at the farm or commercial level. Proper grain storage is one of the most critical and most neglected aspects of Nigerian food production, post-harvest losses from poor grain storage account for up to 30 - 40% of harvest value in many farm operations. A properly sealed silo protects grain from moisture, insects, rodents, and aflatoxin contamination preserving quality, extending storage life, and enabling farmers to sell at better prices off-season rather than flooding the market at harvest when prices are lowest.
