Agriculture is one of the largest consumers of bulk packaging solutions worldwide. From grains to fertilizers, the industry relies on safe, breathable, and weather-resistant bags for handling, storage, and transportation. This is where FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container) bags play a vital role.

Here’s a practical overview of how FIBC bags meet agricultural needs and how to choose the right type for your crop or chemical.

1. Why Use FIBC Bags in Agriculture?

• Enable bulk handling of grains, seeds, and fertilizers
