Innovative food security project in Bangladesh

March 21, 2024 - 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 has participated in the 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 Naranyangani, 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 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 1.5M 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 Specialised, Auto Rice Mills, Akij, and Basundhara have relied on Symaga industrial silos. The company has participated in other projects in the Asian country as a port terminal for one of the largest business groups in the country, Bashundhara LT, and in a few weeks will start the assembly of the Chittagong terminal. 

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.

With more than 35 years of experience, Symaga has a fully automated factory with computer numerical control and cutting-edge technology. Recently visited by Darren Parris, the Group President for Milling and Grain, he has seen first-hand the army of 30+ robots and high-tech machinery that is used to reach maximum quality standards and keep Symaga costs competitive and attractive to the consumer. Darren reports that Symaga has exceeded 15,500 installations, building more than 57 million m³ of grain storage in more than 150 countries. 

After many visits to the factory, Darren has noted the constant investment in updated technology that has achieved total automation, reaching the maximum quality standard. Symaga obtained CE certificate, becoming the first silo manufacturer to obtain it. Moreover, the integral traceability system has its very own quality control system, allowing it to control all manufactured products in real time.

Speaking with the owner Alfonso Garrido, he stated "Our products are renowned for their durability and easy-assemble. Silos are manufactured in corrugated galvanized steel, with a 600 gr/m² coating in the cylinder, and zinc-magnesium covering in the roof, ensuring a double service life more than other suppliers do.”

Darren reported there were between 12,000 and 15,000 tons of galvanised steel in stock, which is a colossal amount and gives Symaga the ability to quote steel prices they already have and to deliver on time an enviable position.
