Russia may face serious problems with provision of high-quality storage facilities for grains, declared Arkady Zlochevsky, President of the Russian Grain Union.

According to him, there is observed the deficit of drying equipment in the industry. It is especially noticeable in the period of rains, and the grain goes wet from the fields.

As for the conditions of grain storage, the President of the Russian Grain Union reminded that according to official statistics, to date the total capacity of storehouses of granary and outdoor storage in Russia reaches 118 mln tonnes, including only 34 mln tonnes of elevator capacities.

Only 40% of the capacities meet the technical requirements. As for the flour storage capacities, they are unable to provide the quantitative and qualitative storing of grains, said the expert.
