Stabilising Maize Prices in Tanzania

The National Food Reserve Agency (NFRA) of Tanzania installed another full-size weighbridge, in order to stabilise the price and availability of maize throughout the year. The government agency buys maize at harvest from various farmers and stores this away. They then dispense it, to keep the maize price stable throughout the year, and provide relief for famine areas in neighbouring countries.

The NFRA already have three Griffith Elder full-size weighbridges and has now expanded to cover another three sites in Tanzania. Owing to being in a remote area, it is a must for the equipment to be durable and reliable. We fit s-type load cell, meeting both the need for accuracy and reliability. We ship the weighbridge itself out in parts, having been designed to make for an easy installation.

Griffith Elder offers a range of durable weighing equipment including single axle weighbridges, weigh beams, industrial scales and on-board weighing. Our products also come equipped with our latest software, developed in-house for maximum control.
