1. Technology overview
GrainPro was founded in 1992 by Laurence Simon and has its corporate office in Washington, DC, USA. The company makes hermetic post-harvest solutions for storing, drying and transporting dry agricultural commodities without chemical fumigants, with a stated aim of reducing post-harvest losses among smallholder farmers.
The range covers hermetic bags and pouches, the Cocoon storage container, container and bulk liners, bubble dryers, and measurement tools such as an oxygen analyzer, a moisture meter and a rice quality test kit. The site reports 2.9 million farmers served and lists customers or partners such as WFP, Cargill, Nestle and Starbucks. Distribution runs through partners in 115 locations worldwide.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Hermetic bags and pouches: Premium, zipper, twist-and-tie, vacuum and compostable formats.

3. Potential application
Coffee cooperatives in the Central Highlands can store dried green coffee in hermetic bags or Cocoon units. Rice traders and mills can keep seed and milled rice in liners during the rainy season. Feed mills can store maize and rice bran with lower mold and insect losses.
4. Benefits
Hermetic storage keeps grain, rice, coffee and cocoa free of moisture, insects and mold without chemical fumigants, which suits organic and export supply chains. The company states that it has served 2.9 million farmers. Products scale from small bags for farmers to container liners and storage units for traders. Measurement tools allow checks of oxygen and moisture during storage.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Moisture, insects and mycotoxin risk drive losses in rice, maize and coffee after harvest, especially in humid tropical climates. Importers increasingly restrict chemical fumigants, and feed mills seek ways to protect maize and rice bran quality. Vietnam's rice, coffee, cashew and feed sectors face these same storage and export-compliance pressures.
