Wasan Milling Company (WMC), entrusted by the Government of Brunei to manage the country’s rice milling and storage operations, is proud to announce a transformative partnership with GrainPro to enhance the quality and longevity of our rice stockpile. As part of our commitment to improving Brunei’s rice production capabilities, we are implementing GrainPro’s advanced hermetic Cocoon technology at the Wasan Agricultural Development Area.
Our primary focus at WMC is to ensure a reliable, high-quality rice supply for Brunei’s growing demand. One of the key challenges in achieving this goal is the effective storage of rice, where we must protect the harvest from moisture, pests, and mold while maintaining its nutritional and physical quality. In response to this, we have adopted GrainPro’s hermetic storage solutions, which have proven to be a game-changer in the agricultural sector.
The GrainPro Cocoon™ is an airtight and moisture-tight storage solution that shields our rice from external contaminants without the need for chemical preservatives. By integrating this technology into our operations, WMC has significantly reduced post-harvest losses, preserved the grain’s quality for longer durations, and enhanced overall food safety standards. This allows us to store rice for extended periods while maintaining its freshness and edibility, even in Brunei’s humid climate.
At WMC, we see this collaboration as a crucial step toward meeting our nation’s food security goals. By leveraging innovative technologies like GrainPro’s hermetic Cocoons, we are not only protecting our rice but also ensuring that we meet the needs of Brunei’s market with a sustainable, high-quality product. This initiative underscores our dedication to fostering a resilient agricultural sector that supports long-term national self-sufficiency.
We believe that through our partnership with GrainPro, WMC is setting a new standard in rice storage and processing, helping to secure Brunei’s food future while adhering to environmentally friendly practices. This is a major milestone in our journey towards strengthening the country’s rice industry and achieving sustainable agricultural growth.
