The use of Cocoons are spreading throughout Indonesia, the
Philippines, and the rest of the ASEAN region. Check out these pictures
from Alnor Limbo, GP Customer Support Engineer, which shows installations of Cocoons in the region.
According to Limbo, "Cocoons are non-chemical storage solutions that
are designed to effectively control insect infestation on dry
agricultural commodities." With the reliance of most food producers in
chemical fumigants, Cocoons offer a more sustainable and cleaner
solution to storing a wide range of grains and seeds.
The GrainPro Cocoon employs the principles of Ultra Hermetic storage,
modified atmospheres and organic pest control. The combination is a
gas- and watertight container that prevents the exchange of air and
moisture. This results in the complete elimination of insects (in all
life stages) embedded with the stored crops, the inhibition of
aflatoxin-producing moulds, and the preservation of the crops for longer
than its regular shelf life without any chemical residues.
Hermetic storage solutions, such as the Cocoon, is leading a global
revolution in how food is preserved. Tighter international laws and
trade agreements are calling for the reduction and complete ban of
several chemical fumigants and pest-control systems. This makes the use
of organic storage and pest-control systems very appealing for food
producers and traders.
