The climate controlled facilities at the northern district's Santahar
can store approximately 25,000 tonnes of food. Officials say all types
of food can be stored in the warehouse.
The prime minister
arrived in Bogra around 12pm on Sunday to inaugurate a number of
development projects. The Santahar silo was the prime minister’s first
stop after arriving in the northern district.
The high-tech food
storage project began in 2009 and was completed with the financial and
technical support of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
The Santahar location was chosen for the project due to its strategic
position between Naogaon and Bogra and its access to road and rail.
Constructions began in 2013 with a budget of Tk 2.32 billion. JICA provided Tk 1.50 billion for the project.
>>Storage capacity of 25,000 tonnes;
>>Two-storey facility with 16 separate storing facility with thermally insulated outer walls, doors and roof
>>Equipped with humidity controllers and fire extinguishing measures;
>>The storage facility is also equipped with temperature controls;
>>Four forklifts are available to move sacks;
>>26,040 plastic palettes for rice preservation;
The prime minister planted a tree seedling at the warehouse’s premises. She then toured the facility.
