In the past, farmers relied on the cooperatives for their grain storage, but as agricultural technology advances, more and more farmers are moving to their own grain storage. RSA Grain Storage are experts in grain and water storage. With decades of knowledge, they can help you find a customised solution for your farm.

Willem Loots, Owner and Director of RSA Grain Storage, says that farmers became used to the cooperative model of storing their grain, but with your own storage, you put the control back in your own hands.

The benefits of your own storage

  • It gives you more control to harvest and store your grain in your own time
  • You can load when you want to and have more control over your transport times
  • The grain you put into storage is your own grain; it is also the grain you get out. So, you control the quality of the grain that goes in and comes out.

Who is SA Grain Storage?

SA Grain Storage was founded in 2014 and is located in Heilbron in the Northern Free State. They initially started with small storage systems and from there saw a natural expansion to larger storage, up to where they are today erecting large silo complexes.

They can help with any raw materials that need to be handled, moved or stored. This includes grain storage, raw material handling and water storage.

“We can help small-scale farmers with a 50-ton silo right up to the person who needs a 100 000-ton storage solution. We have temporary sheds made of PVC and we roll our own dams. We also import large silos that meet European specifications. So, we can help at every point, from small storage for personal use to commercial storage on the farm or even industrial storage for grain that goes to mills,” says Willem.

Why should you choose RSA Grain Storage?

Willem believes their experience over the past twenty years is valuable when it comes to your farm’s storage solutions. They know what works for which part of the industry.

“But as you know, it’s not like a product you pick up from the shelf at BKB – what works for you doesn’t necessarily work for your neighbour,” says Willem.

That is why they work with their customers. They visit the farms, sit down with the farmer and take a good look at what the needs are. Then they design a specific project that will work for your farm.

“It is a time-consuming process to go through everything, but it ensures that we ultimately offer exactly the right solution for our customers,” says Willem.

What makes RSA Grain Storage stand out from other companies is the time they put in after the project is completed. Willem says that 70% of their customers come back to work with them again.

“We focus on our after-sales service to make sure we provide the necessary support. We don’t just want to sell something and then say thank you. I want the customers to come back for more.”

That is why their relationship with their customers is extremely important to them.

RSA Grain Storage and AGI

RSA Grain Storage is also one of the largest distributors of AGI silos and equipment in South Africa. Together these two companies have already built more than 100 000 tonnes of storage space over the past six years.

“This is a company with whom we have had a good relationship. AGI has quality products, and we offer the after-sales service that comes with those products. We do the installation, earthmoving and civil works.”
