Bag storage compared with bulk storage generally

  • A.Costlier handling, clearer stock
  • B.Costs less per tonne to handle
  • C.Gives better protection from rodents
  • D.Requires no ventilation

Answer: A

Correct answer: Costlier handling, clearer stock

Bag storage costs more per tonne to handle, because every bag must be filled, sewn, stacked and moved individually, whereas bulk grain flows by gravity and conveyor. Its advantage is traceability: each lot stays identifiable, so different varieties, qualities or owners can be kept apart and inspected separately.

Bags give worse protection from rodents, since the sacks themselves are easily gnawed and the stack offers harbourage. And ventilation is still needed - indeed, stack arrangement must leave air paths for it.
