- Project Silos & Mechanisation
- Location Niger Resources Rice Mill, Minna, Niger State
The Silos Project at Niger Resources Ltd. represents a critical investment in Nigeria’s agricultural infrastructure. As one of the largest agribusiness enterprises in the region, we are acutely aware of the challenges posed by post-harvest losses, which can significantly undermine the productivity and profitability of the agricultural sector. To address this issue, we are developing state-of-the-art silos and storage facilities that will help to preserve the quality of our harvested products and extend their shelf life.
Our silos are designed to store a variety of crops, including grains, legumes, and other agricultural products, in optimal conditions. By controlling factors such as temperature, humidity, and ventilation, these storage facilities ensure that our products remain fresh and viable for longer periods. This is particularly important for staple crops like rice, maize, and yams, which are highly susceptible to spoilage without proper storage.
In addition to preserving product quality, our silos project is also aligned with our goal of reducing post-harvest losses, which are a major challenge in Nigeria’s agricultural sector. Studies show that up to 40% of harvested crops can be lost due to poor storage practices. By investing in modern storage solutions, we are not only protecting our own products but also contributing to a broader national effort to improve food security.
Our silos are also available for use by local farmers through a cooperative arrangement, allowing them to store their crops safely and avoid selling them at unfavorable prices immediately after harvest. This gives farmers more control over their products and helps to stabilize market prices. Through the Silos Project, Niger Resources Ltd. is playing a vital role in transforming Nigeria’s agricultural landscape, reducing waste, and ensuring the longevity of its products.
