1. MAKING IT GRAIN
WITH NICHROME

2. INTRO
More than 2 billion tonnes of grains are produced across the world
every year. These grains are stored at different stages of the grain
distribution network from the producer to the consumer. They are
usually packed in standardised Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) such as
bags, silos, warehouses, and containers and even stored as stacks on
the ground.
Africa has its own species of rice, along with millet, sorghum, teff,
maize, several varieties of wheat, and dozens of other wild grains
and cereal crops. Barley, though not native, has historically been
used in the cuisines and agriculture of many African nations,
especially in North Africa.
Crops are harvested at the completion of the growing season. The
grains from the harvest need to be stored with minimum loss of
quality until they are needed for human or animal consumption
during the remainder of the year.
