A new vector of development is being formed in the grain storage market — flexibility and economic feasibility. This was stated in his column for AgroTimes by the CEO of Agro Marketing Agency, co-founder of the Elevator Association of Ukraine Svyatoslav Tkachenko.
Among the key trends of the coming years, it is worth highlighting several defining areas:
The transition from large-scale construction of large silo elevators to mobile and modular solutions that allow you to quickly respond to changes in the market and geography of production.
Mass implementation of alternative storage methods — polymer sleeves, modular storage, mobile containers, which demonstrate better economy and less dependence on stationary infrastructure.
Growing demand for automation, digitalization and analytics in the storage sector, which is becoming a response to the shortage of personnel and the need to optimize operational processes.
Energy transformation of elevators - switching to electricity from renewable sources, introduction of biofuels, infrared drying, which ensures not only savings, but also compliance with global ESG standards.
Logistics reorientation: further development of transport and warehouse infrastructure in the west of the country and near the EU borders to support the continuity of exports. Formation of a new culture of efficiency: enterprises strive to increase the productivity of each square meter of capacity, reduce energy consumption and adapt facilities to the new realities of agribusiness.
