During the visit, the delegation will study the procurement system of food grains and explore emerging technologies related to agri-warehousing and Silos for storage of food grains and have business meetings with the intended importers of food grains.
Banwari Lal said the Government of India has emphasized to store wheat in scientifically covered storage space only. Due to the paucity of covered traditional storage space, Silo is a safe, economical and profitable way. The Silos are designed to achieve the optimal utilization of land and better preservation of food grains for a longer period of time without affecting its quality.
The delegation along with T Ajungla Jamir, Consulate General of India at Milan, Italy visited silo technology manufacturing centres in Northern Italy on Saturday to explore areas of cooperation in setting up similar structures in Haryana, said the Cooperation Minister.
