Over the weekend, I had a conversation with a friend who recently got into the trucking business where he does long haul deliveries using a flat-bed truck.

He revealed a rather intriguing problem with the grains industry - he mentioned that, as a policy, his business does not transport NCPB cereals.

Why? Apparently, grains are often rejected by the NCPB (the National Cereals and Produce Board) for having high moisture content. The only thing a transporter can do is leave the grain under the sun for a few days until they reach the right level of moisture acceptable to the NCPB. As a transporter, this amounts to valuable time wasted as the truck(s) have to idly wait out the few days until transportation can resume.

I found a similar story here:

Is there any wazuan who can actually confirm this problem?

Thus the idea would be:

1. Find a quick drying solution at the farm level
2. Fit silos/warehouses with some sort of customised drying apparatus
3. Fit containers with some drying technology
