As summer grain harvests arrive, hundreds of millions of jin of newly harvested grain flows from fertile fields into barns. Today’s modern granaries—equipped with intelligent temperature control and green storage systems—stand as guardians of "food safety on the tip of the tongue." The evolution of China’s "national grain barns" from simple earth and wood structures and open air straw enclosures to smart granaries integrated with low-temperature storage, controlled-atmosphere preservation, and intelligent monitoring—is more than just an upgrade of storage conditions; it represents a leap forward in safeguarding national food security.

The link between grain drying and long-term storage quality is a critical yet often overlooked factor in safeguarding grain security. For corn and paddy—two staple grains globally—suboptimal drying processes can lead to irreversible quality degradation during storage, from increased breakage to toxin contamination. Drawing on decades of industry research and on-site practice, LIAONING QIUSHI Silo Equipment Engineering Co., Ltd. has developed tailored drying solutions that address the unique needs of corn and paddy, ensuring their quality remains stable from harvest to storage. Backed by peer-reviewed studies and real-world data, these solutions are reshaping how farmers and grain facilities protect their crops.

Climate change is no longer a distant threat but a pressing reality reshaping global agricultural landscapes. Extreme weather events, shifting rainfall patterns, and rising temperatures are challenging the stability of grain production systems worldwide, making grain security a paramount concern for nations. In this context, the transition to green, low-carbon agriculture has emerged as both a strategic response to climate risks and a cornerstone for safeguarding long-term grain security. By integrating technological innovation with policy support, this transformation aims to build agricultural systems that are low-carbon, efficient, and sustainable—ultimately fortifying our ability to feed growing populations amid uncertainty.

Grain storage is a cornerstone of national food security, directly impacting food quality and market value. Factors such as moisture content, damaged grains, moldy kernels, and storage environment temperature/humidity are primary causes of grain deterioration. In recent years, with the promotion of green grain storage concepts, low-temperature storage and controlled atmosphere (CA) technologies have emerged as industry focal points. Low-temperature storage, by maintaining grain pile temperatures below 15°C, slows aging and preserves quality, while CA storage regulates nitrogen and carbon dioxide levels to significantly reduce deterioration. The future of grain storage lies in a synergistic "low-temperature + CA" model, integrated with intelligent monitoring systems, enabling energy-efficient and high-performance storage management. This development aligns with national green development strategies and offers advanced solutions for global grain loss reduction.

Post-harvest grain losses due to mold have emerged as a critical concern, with improper temperature management during pre-storage handling causing significant economic damages. These losses stem from avoidable issues such as incomplete drying, poor stacking practices, and heat buildup during transportation. Left unaddressed, elevated grain temperatures can trigger dangerous chain reactions—including aflatoxin contamination and quality degradation—threatening both food safety and agricultural economies.

As core facilities in grain reserve systems, large-scale grain silos require meticulous construction quality to ensure storage safety, structural durability, and operational efficiency. Drawing on experience from thousand-ton and larger silo projects, LIAONING QIUSHI Silo Equipment Engineering Co., Ltd. outlines critical construction considerations spanning foundation treatment, structural installation, and safety management, providing comprehensive technical guidance for large-scale grain silo construction.
