Recently, a delegation from the Lesotho Post-harvest Grain Security Technology Seminar—a foreign aid training program hosted by the Ministry of Commerce of China and organized by Henan University of Technology—visited Henan SRON Silo Engineering Co., Ltd. (SRON). The visit focused on technical exchanges regarding post-harvest grain security guarantees, the application of modern grain storage technologies, and the construction of international grain supply chains. This exchange aimed to strengthen the sharing of experience between China and Lesotho in the field of grain storage and transportation, promote the deep integration of China’s advanced grain warehousing technology with international grain security needs, and contribute Chinese technological strength to enhancing the resilience of the global grain supply chain.

Grain security is a critical issue of common concern globally. As a nation in southern Africa, Lesotho attaches great importance to the construction of its grain security guarantee system, actively promoting agricultural modernization and the improvement of post-harvest loss reduction capabilities. Faced with challenges such as climate change, grain storage losses, and infrastructure development, strengthening the application of modern grain storage and transportation technologies is of great significance for boosting grain security capabilities and promoting sustainable agricultural development. By visiting Chinese enterprises in the field of grain storage and transportation, this seminar provided an in-depth understanding of advanced technology application experiences, offering an exchange platform for future international grain security cooperation.
The seminar delegation first visited the SRON corporate exhibition hall, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the company's development history, global business layout, and technological innovation achievements in the field of bulk material storage and transportation. During the visit, SRON staff provided detailed introductions centered on the company's development strategy, core technology system, international project case studies, and smart grain storage and transportation solutions.

As a global provider of system solutions for bulk material storage and transportation engineering, Henan SRON Silo Engineering Co., Ltd. has long focused on the construction of bulk material storage and transportation systems in industries such as grain, minerals, building materials, and coal. The company provides full-process EPC solutions encompassing engineering design, equipment manufacturing, construction and installation, intelligent control, and operation and maintenance services. Relying on its independent technological system, the company continuously innovates around three major directions: “safe grain storage, smart grain storage, and green grain storage”, helping global customers build safer, more efficient, and low-carbon bulk material storage and transportation infrastructure.
During the technical exchange session, both sides conducted in-depth discussions on topics such as post-harvest grain loss control, the construction of safe grain storage systems, and the application of modern granary technologies. Combining its own experience in participating in the construction of grain silo projects across multiple countries and regions worldwide, SRON shared China's practical achievements in grain storage facility construction, intelligent management, and green, low-carbon grain storage.

During the exchange, seminar members focused on understanding SRON's double-layer insulated steel plate silo system, grain conveying systems, intelligent grain condition monitoring systems, and green, low-carbon energy application technologies. Among these, SRON's innovatively applied "Photovoltaic Energy Storage Green Power System" became a key focus of the discussion. By deploying photovoltaic power generation facilities on top of the silos and within available project spaces, combined with energy storage technology, this system achieves green power production and efficient utilization for the project. It provides clean energy support for grain storage and transportation facilities, reduces traditional energy consumption and carbon emissions, and promotes the upgrade of grain warehousing from being driven by traditional energy to being integrated with green energy.
Through on-site demonstrations and technical exchanges, the seminar members gained a deeper understanding of China's grain warehousing equipment manufacturing standards, engineering construction capabilities, and green, low-carbon development concepts. They also further understood how modern grain storage and transportation facilities can enhance grain security capabilities through intelligent, digital, and green energy technologies.
SRON stated that grain security is not only related to agricultural development, but also vital to global economic stability and the guarantee of people's livelihoods. As the global grain supply chain faces multiple challenges such as climate change, post-harvest losses, and energy transition, building a safe, smart, and green silo and transportation system has become an important direction for international grain security development. As a Chinese grain storage and transportation technology enterprise, SRON always adheres to the development philosophy of "Smart, Low-Carbon, EPC." It combines engineering technology innovation with global grain security needs, providing global customers with safe, reliable, energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and efficiently operating bulk material storage and transportation solutions through intelligent storage and transportation systems, green energy applications, and full-process engineering services.
The visit of the Lesotho Post-harvest Grain Security Technology Seminar to SRON not only deepened the exchange and mutual learning between the two sides in the field of grain storage and transportation technology, but also further built a bridge for cooperative development between Chinese enterprises and the international grain industry. In the future, SRON will continue to leverage its advantages in technology R&D, engineering delivery, and global service to actively participate in the construction of the international grain security system, contributing to the green and sustainable development of the global grain industry with Chinese engineering technology and innovative solutions.
