Logistics Training Program on Food Grain Storage and Transport

Professional Certification in Post-Harvest Logistics, Warehouse Management & Bulk Grain Movement

Pertecnica Engineering presents a specialized Logistics Training Program on Food Grain Storage and Transport, designed for professionals involved in the movement of food grains from farm gates to storage silos, procurement agencies, processing units, and international markets.

The program addresses real-time challenges in transportation, warehousing, pest management, quality control, and bulk movement of essential grains such as wheat, rice, pulses, and millets under both government and private sector supply chains.

Why This Training is Essential

• India moves over 300 million tonnes of food grains annually, requiring robust and efficient logistics.

• Challenges such as spoilage, moisture damage, rodent attacks, poor packaging, and inventory mismatch plague the grain sector.

• Government procurement (like FCI, NAFED) and private traders demand trained professionals to manage grain flow, quality, and compliance.

This training helps you develop technical, operational, and documentation capabilities across every node of the grain supply chain.

Who Should Join

• Logistics professionals working in agri or warehousing sectors

• Warehouse managers and FCI depot staff

• Food procurement agents, NGOs, and Agri-export firms

• Students of agriculture, food technology, or supply chain
