Another facet of the Corporation's manifold activities is the provision of scientific storage for the millions of tons of food grains procured by it. In order to provide easy physical access in deficit, remote and inaccessible areas, the FCI and its allied agencies have a network of storage depots. This includes godowns and an indigenous method developed by FCI, called Cover and Plinth (CAP), for outdoor storage of grains to protect the same in all weather conditions.
