WAREHOUSE CEAGESP SP – Storage Network
The storage network also followed the Company’s growth. In 1970, the first horizontal silos (large cylinder-shaped warehouses to store agricultural products) were built in the country, coupled to bulk carriers (places that receive or house bulk goods). At the time, the network received regulatory stocks from the Federal Government, purchased in several states and stored in cities in the interior of São Paulo.
As of 1986, the company’s warehouses began to store bagged sugar, due to the expansion of the sugarcane crop, which, along with oranges, took the lead in agriculture in São Paulo. In 1997, CEAGESP was federalized and linked to the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply.
CEAGESP maintains the largest public network of silos and general warehouses in the State of São Paulo, managed by the Department of Storage (DEPAR). Together, the chain’s units have the capacity to store more than 850 thousand tons of products.
Storage is classified as one of the main activities developed by the Company, knowing that agricultural production is the farmer’s greatest wealth, it offers the best storage conditions for the harvest. It has adequate structures for storage, with large cylinder-shaped deposits to store agricultural products, where they receive the goods and house them safely and with quality so that there is no loss. Network management is the responsibility of the Storage Department (DEPAR).

Difference between Warehouse and Warehouse
Warehouse is the name given to the place where different types of products are sold, in the case of CEAGESP it is where the sale of fruits, vegetables, vegetables, fish and flowers takes place. The warehouse, on the other hand, is like the stock of non-perishable foods such as sugar and grains.
