Innovative Food Security Project in Bangladesh
Bangladesh, one of the most populated countries in the world, is experiencing strong economic and demographic growth demanding expansion of their agri-food industry supported by government projects food security.
Symaga is proud to have participated in Modern Food Security Project (MSP), led by the Bangladesh government, by manufacturing and delivering two silo installations of silos to the Danish company Cimbria. One plant is located in the town of Naranyanganj reaching up to a number of 12 Silos SBHX1834/15 and the second one in Barisal, a city located in the Ganges delta with 16 silos SBHX1680/13.
The Government of Bangladesh has launched an innovative plan to build grain storage plants at several strategic locations. These plants will be equipped with a “Food Stock and Market Monitoring System”. The objective is to supervise the food stock, as well as the transport and the overall market in order to reduce inefficiencies.
Bangladesh is a key country for Symaga, with 1.5 M m3 of built storage in 150 silos assembled in “The Lands of Rivers”. The country’s main agribusiness players such as City Group, A R Specialized, Auto Rice Mills, Akij, and Basundhara have relied on our industrial silos. Symaga has participated in other projects in the Asian country as a port terminal for one of the large business groups in the country, Bashundhara LT and in a few weeks will start the assembly of the Chittagong terminal. Less recently we participated in several feed mills.
Food security projects in Bangladesh are emblematic for Symaga, as they strengthen the company’s corporate mission: helping to feed the world. We look forward to continuing to contribute to this MFSP (Modern Food Security Project) by supplying silos for the upcoming grain storage plants.
