Blumberg Grain, a division of Blumberg Capital Partners, was featured in an Africa Agribusiness Magazine article titled Blumberg Grain: Bringing Opportunities to Africa's Agriculture Market.  Blumberg Grain provides the most comprehensive state of the art storage units and management services for post harvest food safety and security.  An excerpt of the article follows:

Blumberg’s agricultural roots reach back to the 1800s, and to the 1900s, and today, they are proud to help entire nations to manage their food supply with greater safety and security.

Recently, Africa Agribusiness Magazine had the pleasure of speaking with Philip Blumberg, Founding Chairman and CEO, to discuss how their agriculture initiative,Blumberg Grain, can provide innovative solutions to Africa.

Blumberg provides countries with state of the art and comprehensive storage units for post harvest food safety and security.Mass produced in the United States, the lightweight, scalable warehouses use one-third the steel of conventional warehouses, making them the most cost effective storage facilities in today’s market. However, the simple design does not hinder the structures’ expected lifespans, which is estimated at 25-50 years.

Furthermore, each self-contained facility can be customized for farmers’ needs. “Despite their simple design, these warehouses are quite sophisticated. It’s what we can do inside that makes all the difference”.

By design, Blumberg warehouses can be divided for multiple products, and each areacan have its own sophisticated temperature, insulation and humidity controls. To operate the facilities, countries may choose from generator, solar or wind power. What’s more, Blumberg structures are designed to work best in rural areas, close to the farmers and their crops, so that harvested crops are stored as quickly as possible.
