4. KEY ISSUES & STATUS


4.1 Implementation Status and Key Decisions
  The Project's implementation status and key decisions are summarized as below:
  Silos construction : The progress of silo construction is as follows :
   • The Mymensingh is fully completed and has been handed over to DG Food. The silo is already under operation
       and is storing 15,000 MT of wheat.
   • The Madhupur silo is also at completion stage. The DG Food has deployed staff in the site.
   • The Barishal silo construction is completed and handing over to DG Food is ongoing.
   • The Ashuganj silo is at 79% completion.
   • The Khulna silo is at 89% completion.
   • The Narayanganj silo is at 76% completion.
   • The Chattogram silo is at 67% completion.
       The PMU would undertake weekly visit/meetings to the remaining 4 silos to ensure works completion by June
       30, 2025 as per agreed work schedule.

  Integrated Food Policy Research Program: All the deliverables have been submitted.
  Food Stock & Market Monitoring System (FSMMS): the contract's implementation has been experiencing significant
  delays. The system will go live by March 25, based on work schedule presented by the contractors and agreed by the
  PMU.
