New Delhi, March 04: Canadian company Meridian Inc. yesterday signed an MOU with LT foods of India to supply flat bottom silos for rice storage at an LT foods facility in Madhya Pradesh.
The success of this pilot program could pave way for small farmers, food processing organizations and cooperatives to acquire the state of the art products from Meridian Inc to meet their needs for rice storage. Meridian Inc’s decentralized storage facilities can provide solutions for grain storage, handling, aeration and air-drying of rice, thus helping prevent post harvest spoilage.
Speaking on the occasion, Canada’s Minister Commercial Andrew Smith said: “This pilot project is an excellent opportunity to provide high-tech solutions developed by a Canadian company for the needs of Indian farmers. Once these solutions are proved successful in Indian context, rice producers across India could benefit from them.”
