Farmers, processors and exporters in 15 Asian countries are profiting from the "Green Revolution, Phase II: the Storage Revolution" by using hermetic (airtight) storage for safe storage.HERMETIC STORAGE, IS now being used in over 80 countries worldwide. Hermetic storage addresses a long neglected link in the Asian food value chain, while simultaneously eliminating the need for pesticides or refrigeration to accomplish safe storage.Modern hermetic storage drastically reduces losses in storage of grains such as rice, maize, beans and sorghum and of high value crops like coffee and cocoa, while also protecting germination of seeds for up to a year. Hermetic storage containers have abroad range: from small-scale, man-portable SuperGrainbags~(TM) (liners to standard 60-90kg jute bags) to 5 to 1,000-tonne.capacity Cocoons~(TM) or Megacocoons~(TM)and most recently, airtight Silbags that greatly improve storage of sileage for dairies and cattle feed. Figure 1 shows the rain-protected CDC II~(TM) Solar Dryer, which ensures proper drying of commodities before they are stored.
