“The new silos construction is going to help us ramp up simultaneous storage capacities at the terminal by the beginning of MY (marketing year) up to 270,000 t. Then, by the start of corn harvesting season we plan to assembly all the 20 silos and therefore expand the one-time storage capacity up to 350,000 t”, added the PO.
