Summary

This paper provides an economic assessment of three types of potato storage technology: farmers' traditional methods, modern refrigerator cold stores, and a new farm storage technology known as evaporative cool stores (ECS). While cold stores remain the only viable alternative for long-term (5 to 8 months) storage of table and seed potatoes, ECS can significantly reduce losses in farm stores for shorter-term storage of table potatoes; but ECS investment cost is higher than traditional methods.
