Agricultural Drying Tarp: Efficient Post-Harvest | CIKALA
Agricultural Drying Tarp: Grain Post-Harvest Efficiency
The agricultural drying tarp provides a clean, waterproof surface, prevents grains from touching the ground, and reduces losses from moisture and impurities. Result: greater quality, uniformity, and better selling price.

Why the tarp transforms post-harvest
By creating a safe barrier between grains and soil, the agricultural drying tarp reduces contamination, preserves the physical integrity of the lot, and speeds up daily handling.
- Quality and uniformity of lots.
- Agility in turning and collecting during rain.
- Reusable for several harvests with proper cleaning and storage.
Ideal material, thickness and finish
Choose HDPE/LDPE polyethylene with UV and antioxidant additives. For open fields: from 150 microns; for higher friction and traffic, 200 microns.
- Black tarp: light blocking.
- Double-sided (black/white): thermal control.
- Reinforced edges and easy cleaning speed up the routine.
Application by crop: corn, soybeans, rice, beans and coffee
- Corn: turn periodically; watch layer thickness.
- Soybeans: avoid sudden moisture drops to prevent cracking.
- Rice: in husk, requires ventilation and longer drying time.
- Beans: handle carefully to avoid breakage.
- Coffee: use a patio with quick collection during rain.
Quick step-by-step guide
- Level and clean the floor, removing edges or stones.
- Lay out the agricultural drying tarp and secure the edges.
- Spread the grain layer according to weather conditions.
- Turn periodically and monitor moisture.
- Collect quickly in case of rain.
- After harvest, clean, dry, and store the tarp.
