Empowering Farmers, Transforming Agriculture.
Post-harvest losses remain one of the biggest challenges faced by farmers and grain traders in Uganda. Insects, moisture, rodents, and poor storage methods can destroy months of hard work within a short time. PICS bags (Purdue Improved Crop Storage bags) offer a proven, affordable, and chemical-free solution for safe grain storage.
What Are PICS Bags?
PICS bags are specially designed triple-layer hermetic storage bags developed to protect stored grains from insect damage. Each bag consists of:
- Two inner airtight liners
- One strong outer woven polypropylene bag
When properly sealed, PICS bags cut off oxygen inside the bag, preventing insects from surviving or reproducing—without the need for pesticides.
Why Choose PICS Bags?
PICS bags are trusted by millions of farmers across Africa because they deliver real results:
✅ Chemical-Free Storage
No need for dangerous storage chemicals. PICS bags protect grain naturally, making them safe for food, seed, and animal feed.
✅ Protects Against Insects
Common storage pests such as weevils and bruchids are effectively controlled, even during long-term storage.
✅ Maintains Grain Quality
Grains retain their weight, taste, germination ability, and market value.
✅ Cost-Effective
PICS bags are reusable for several seasons when handled well, saving farmers money over time.
✅ Easy to Use
No special equipment or training required—just proper filling and tight sealing.
Crops That Can Be Stored in PICS Bags
PICS bags are suitable for storing a wide range of crops, including:
- Maize
- Beans
- Cowpeas
- Groundnuts
- Rice
- Sorghum
- Soybeans
- Sunflower seed
They are ideal for farmers, agrodealers, grain traders, seed producers, and cooperatives.
How to Use PICS Bags Properly
To get the best results:
- Ensure grain is well dried before storage
