New | Egypt is building silos worth 140 million dollars in East Port Said

CAIRO – Yahya Zaki, the head of the Suez Canal Economic Zone, and Haitham Noah, a representative of the Roots and Pink Goods Company, inked a deal in East Port Said to develop a bulk grain and silos station. East Port Said produces 1.5 million to 7.2 million tonnes of grain each year.

He went on to say that the project, which is estimated to produce roughly 400 direct and indirect jobs, will be erected on a 267,000-square-meter site with a 500-meter length.

Bulk stations are also important in the grain industry; most farmers sell their grain crops to a station known as a grain elevator; the farmer chooses which grain elevator to use based on what is most cost-effective for them; the farmer personally delivers the grain to the rural grain elevator via trucks; and it is sold at a cost-effective price.

Rail or truck are frequently used to transport grain to these terminals. These grain elevators feature higher storage capacities and can move grain by rail or river barges more effectively.
