The first phase of a grain silo construction project in the northern Amirabad Port with a storage capacity of 25,000 tons has come on stream, which increased the port’s total capacity to 260,000 tons, says director general of Amirabad Ports and Maritime Organization.
“The project, upon completion, will have an overall storage capacity of 49,000 tons. Construction work on the 7,000 square-meter site is continuing and more than 110 billion rials [$470,000] would be invested in the project by the time it is fully inaugurated,” Mohammad Ali Asl-Saeedpour was quoted as saying by the news portal of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development.
The government is building up its wheat reserves by constructing new silos across the country.
