Covering an area spanning 14,000 square metres, Silal’s automated packhouse includes a 4,930 square metre grading and packing area, strengthening Silal’s role in supporting the local farming industry.

In line with Silal’s commitment to sustainability, the packhouse incorporates the latest innovative and advanced technology in post-harvest operations.

The packhouse is expected to handle 65 percent of Silal’s future crops.
