Storage
One of the key components for a profitable agriculture is the ability to dry and store grains. Grain Alliance has since 2008 focused on expanding and enhancing the storage facilities. In 2010 a completely new elevator was erected in the Poltava region.
Grain Alliance has six grain elevators with a total drying and storage capacity of more than 260 000 tons divided on elevators in Berezan, 52 000, Barishevka, 15 000 tons, Yagotin, 54 000, Yarmolintsy, 15 000, Nezhin, 24 000 and Piryatin 101 000. Three of the grain elevators have railroad access and the capacity can easily be expanded. The construction of elevator in Nezhin was started in 2017 and can be expanded during coming years if necessary up to 100 000 tones.
In addition to the elevator storage facilities Grain Alliance can store approximately 35 000 tons of grains in traditional on farm floor storage facilities. These storages have been refurbished during the recent years and are in good condition.
Grain Alliance has also made large investments into energy efficient drying equipment. These investments have increased speed and quality of drying, reduced costs and greenhouse gas emission. During the peak of the season Grain Alliance can dry more than 5000 tons of grains per day.
