Abstract
Conclusions were as follows. Converting existing bagged godowns to bulk storage costs about Rs. 24,100 per godown, or Rs. 69 per MT of additional storage. The cost of filling and reclaiming wheat from a converted bulk godown is about Rs. 9 per MT when 8 converted godowns per site share portable equipment. This compares with Rs. 11.40 per MT for bagged storage and reclaim, and Rs. 21.15 per MT for bag-cum-bulk. The conversion method using roof hatches and portable equipment does not interfere with using the godowns for bagged storage as the need arises. (Author abstract, modified)
