About Lingrain
Lingrain is a farmer owned cooperative 47,000t grain storage and export facility dockside in based at Boston Docks, Boston, Lincolnshire.
Their high capacity intakes mean that Lingrain members’ grain can be collected from the farmers field quickly and efficiently. Once harvested, Lingrain’s infrastructure and trading network provides flexibility on who and when to sell the crop to, resulting in members’ grain regularly beating market returns.
Lingrain’s dockside location and specialist segregation and blending techniques have the added advantage of allowing their members to access export markets more easily and ensure that a higher percentage of crops reach the premium market.
Their prime position in the Port of Boston means that in addition to providing storage for members, Lingrain has been able to use their facility to export grain for third parties in return for an elevation fee. The profits generated from this work have been used to carry out an extensive refurbishment of the store, to build up reserves and make distributions to members.
