The central government aims to manufacture modern silos to store wheat in four years. At the same time, the government is also working on a pilot project to procure rice. So in just a few years, the number of food spoilage during storage can be drastically reduced. Food Secretary Sudhanshu Pandey says the government will soon launch a storage modernization project. The government is aiming to collect wheat in modern silos by 2024-25. In addition, open warehouses have been dismantled to reduce the number of food spoilage.
The capacity of the warehouse has increased by 20 per cent
The capacity of the state government and central warehouses has also been increased. Sudhanshu Pandey said capacity has increased by 20 per cent in warehouses. So more and more food grains can be kept in closed warehouses. This is due to the decrease in food grains.

A food project has been planned in Buxar to keep the rice for a long time, the food secretary said. Depending on the experimental project, modern silos will also be prepared for rice collection. In fact, many years ago, the government began making modern silos in collaboration with the private sector. But the potential for modern silos is still not high.
