Global agritech firm Cimbria has partnered with DMT Grains Storage Solutions Limited, a subsidiary of DMT Collateral Management, to tackle post-harvest losses estimated at between 30% and 80% across West Africa.

The partnership aims to address one of the region’s major challenges — grain loss caused by inadequate storage, poor handling, and weak processing infrastructure.

Paul Sannie Minlah, CEO of DMT Collateral Management, said the collaboration will give farmers and agribusinesses access to modern grain storage, handling, and processing technologies to reduce waste and improve food quality.

As part of the agreement, a DMT delegation, including Seidu Akakade, Femi Olaiya (Executive Director, Nigeria), and Emmanuel Gyan Mensa, received hands-on training at Cimbria’s headquarters in Denmark to gain the technical expertise needed for effective implementation.

The partnership will also allow small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) access to collateral-backed warehousing, enabling them to secure financing against stored commodities. It is expected to strengthen market linkages for smallholder farmers and cooperatives while expanding innovative post-harvest technologies across the region.

Headquartered in Ghana, DMT Collateral Management operates in 32 African countries, managing crops, commodities, and capital in complex markets. Under the deal, its subsidiary becomes Cimbria’s official representative in West Africa.
