Warehousing

Storage is not simply a matter of keeping produce dry. Grain and pulses continue to respire, moisture migrates within a stack, and insect populations build quietly until they are expensive. Managed storage means the stack is built correctly, monitored and acted on.

Stock is stacked clear of walls and floor to allow air movement and inspection, segregated by lot so that identity and traceability are preserved, and rotated so that older stock moves first. Condition is checked periodically rather than only when the stock is called forward.

Where a buyer contracts volume for release over a period, the company can hold that stock and release it against a call-off schedule, reporting the balance held as it moves.
