Cold Storages

Cold Storage are needed for extending the time period , period of selling , avoiding glut, post harvest losses reducing transport bottlenecks during peak period of production and maintenance of quality of produce. It is, therefore, necessary that cold storages are to be constructed in major producing also as consuming centres. the event of cold storages within the country has a crucial role in reducing the wastages of the perishable commodities and providing remunerative prices to the growers and to form available farm products to the clients at competitive and affordable prices.

Cold Storage/ Rooms:
A storage method is merely the last step to having successful cold storage and fresh vegetables within the winter. the primary step begins with the seed catalog , it’s extremely important to settle on cultivator which store well. for instance , not every sort of carrot will still be edible the subsequent May. Most seed catalogues are good at telling us which of them have good storage qualities. I even have relied on their recommendations and have found particular cultivator of variety of vegetables that store alright on behalf of me .

In the cold storages, we will take the plant’s natural dormant stage between seasons. Success rates also are raised by following proven guidelines. Harvesting in dry, cool weather is useful because weather encourages the vegetables to store sugars and starches instead of water within the roots. ignore the dirt gently, but cleaning isn’t necessary. Don’t bruise the produce. Store only the simplest produce; bruised, broken, or nicked vegetables be used soon. Tops should be clipped immediately; if left on, they suck moisture from the basis . Many tops are good to eat; chop some and dehydrate to feature to soups later.
