Shipping bulk grain across oceanic routes requires strict contamination controls:

• Container Loading Efficiency: A standard 20ft FCL accommodates 24 to 26 Metric Tons in 25kg or 50kg PP/Jute bags.
• Phytosanitary Fumigation: Methyl Bromide or Phosphine treatment to eliminate weevils (Sitophilus oryzae) and guarantee pest-free cargo upon customs clearance.
• Kraft Paper Liners & Desiccant Bags: Absorbs container condensation during transit across equatorial shipping lanes.
