Grain storage in Brazil continues to be one of the major challenges faced annually by Brazilian farmers who closely deal with the lack of storage space for grains in various regions of Brazil.

For several years, Brazilian producers have had to find alternatives to address the storage deficit, ensuring that the grains are kept safely yet economically to guarantee the profitability of the harvest.

The Velper Ball Silo has become a key component and has transitioned from being an emergency solution to being included in the regular planning of corn and soybean production in the country and around the world. However, when we talk about storage in plastic bags in the field, a crucial factor to consider is the strength and durability of this plastic.

How long does a bag silo last?
The AgroVelper Bag Silo is one of the most resistant and durable on the market. Made from virgin polyethylene, the plastic is robust, contains ANTI UV additives, and is designed to last at least 24 months in the field.

What is the warranty for the bag silo?
The Velper Silo has a factory warranty of 24 months. When choosing the brand of bag silo for grain storage, the producer needs to pay attention to several factors, one of which is the warranty of this material.

With the climatic challenges constantly faced in Brazil, it is essential to pay attention to the resistance to tearing and the robustness of the bag silo in the field across various regions and climates.

With the high grain productivity in the country, correctly storing so much product has become a challenge. Crowded warehouses and high-cost logistics help to further increase rural producers’ headaches in the harvesting process.

Faced with the problem of storage deficit that the country faces, the silo bag has been a great ally for producers in the field. “It’s impossible to think about producing without relying on plastic storage nowadays”, said a soybean producer from the western region of Bahia. By storing in a bag system, operation flexibility increases and increases planting productivity.

To discuss the topic further, we invited Nathalia Verdelli, application engineer at Braskem; Emerson Borghi, researcher at Embrapa; and Thiago Teixeira, CEO of AgroVelper.
