The Smart Way to Store Grain Without Chemicals

Every year, farmers lose a significant part of their harvested grain. Storage pests like weevils and larger grain borers are responsible for this loss. These insects feed on stored grain, reducing both quantity and quality, lowering market value, and causing unnecessary financial losses.

At Agape Innovations Limited, we believe every kilogram you harvest should reach the market or your family’s table as it was harvested. We supply Agape PICS Bags because they are innovative, safe, and chemical-free. This grain storage solution is trusted by millions of farmers around the world.

What Are PICS Bags?

PICS (Purdue Improved Crop Storage) Bags are specially designed hermetic (airtight) storage bags made up of three layers:

  • Two strong inner liners made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE)
  • One durable woven outer bag that provides strength and protection during handling

When properly filled and tightly sealed, the bag creates an airtight environment. As insects breathe, they consume the limited oxygen inside the bag while carbon dioxide levels increase. The resulting low-oxygen environment stops insects from feeding. It prevents them from reproducing. This allows your grain to remain protected without the use of insecticides. Research has shown that hermetic storage effectively controls common storage pests while preserving grain quality for extended periods.

  • Maize
  • Beans
  • Soybeans

Why Farmers Choose Agape PICS Bags

Preserve Grain Quality

Maintain grain colour, taste, aroma, weight, and germination quality for many months when grain is properly dried before storage.

Eliminate Storage Chemicals

Protect your grain without applying pesticides or chemical dusts, making the grain safer for household consumption and premium markets.

Reduce Post-Harvest Losses

Prevent damage caused by:

  • Maize weevils
  • Larger grain borers
  • Bean bruchids
  • Other common storage insects

This means more grain available for sale and household consumption.

Save Money

By preventing storage losses, farmers keep more of what they worked hard to produce. Instead of replacing damaged grain, you retain more bags to sell when prices improve.

Store Grain for Longer

Farmers should not rush to sell immediately after harvest when prices are low. They can safely store grain and wait for better market prices. This approach increases overall profitability.

Maintain Seed Viability

Properly dried seed stored in PICS Bags retains higher germination potential compared to grain damaged by insects. This makes the bags an excellent option for farmers saving seed for the next planting season.

Environmentally Friendly

Since no storage pesticides are required, PICS Bags reduce chemical exposure for farmers, consumers, and the environment.

How to Use Agape PICS Bags

Getting the best results is simple:

  1. Dry your grain thoroughly to the recommended safe moisture level before storage.
  2. Clean the grain by removing broken kernels, stones, dust, and crop residues.
  3. Fill the bag carefully without puncturing the inner liners.
  4. Remove as much trapped air as possible.
  5. Tie each inner liner separately before tying the outer woven bag.
  6. Store the bag on pallets or raised surfaces in a clean, dry store away from rodents and sharp objects.
  7. Avoid opening the bag frequently. Open it only when grain is needed and reseal properly if grain remains.

Following these simple steps ensures maximum protection throughout the storage period.
