Contest : Year-round storage methods for perishable products.

^{Hello Everyone. I am @khokonmia From Bangladesh .}

Hi Steemian greetings to all, I hope everyone is well and I am well too. Today I will participate in a new competition. On this occasion, I thank @abdul-rakib sir for organizing it. I am happy to participate in the competition. Let's start without delay.

What are the agricultural products that are produced once a year in your country and meet the demand throughout the year?

Potato farming is quite common and essential to Bangladesh's food supply. Grown annually across diverse regions, potatoes meet demands year-round. As a staple crop, potatoes occupy prominence on local menus and further economic interests through overseas exports.

What are the methods for storing these products (artificial and domestic methods).

Several preservation techniques forestall spoilage, categorized as industrial or domestic approaches. These methods freshness extends, satisfying consumption patterns.

Industrial cold storage maintains ideal temperatures of four to seven degrees Celsius and humidity of eighty to ninety-five percent. This premier strategy retains quality throughout seasons, allowing marketing proximity to harvests.

At home, potatoes secure in shaded, ventilated ground distant from light or dampness. This natural environment preserves freshness, delaying decay. Enveloping in paper or fabric absorbs moisture, slowing rot. Sufficiently stored, potatoes there endure weeks.

Deep entombment in sand, an antiquated custom, proves especially effective for winter months since sand regulates temperature and humidity.

Stowage within open-air baskets or wooden crates permits ventilation while draining moisture. This mitigates decomposition.

What is the cost of storage and does the government support you for storage?

The costs associated with storing agricultural goods in Bangladesh, especially potatoes, depend on many influential factors. The expenses tied to storage primarily hinge on the method utilized. Below offers a conception of the costs tied to some prevalent storage techniques:

Cool storage demands high energy expenses due to electricity consumption. Each refrigerated unit can burn 20-30 kilowatts daily, rendering costs variable contingent on storage size and situation. Additionally, maintenance fees are involved with chilled storage. Transporting, wrapping, and testing potato purity incurs charges.

The Bangladeshi leadership offers diverse assistance forms to allow cultivators to safeguard harvests, notably tubers. Subsidies offset chilled or agricultural storage costs, enabling improved techniques adoption at reduced prices. Processing hubs are establishing under initiative auspices for potato safekeeping, where they may be handled and preserved long-term. Some centers offer reasonable rates through state backing. Easy condition loans help purchase equipment for storage use.

Have you ever been in a situation where you have faced difficulties in storing due to massive production. (This question is optional for you).

Such deprivation has afflicted me before where cold storage scarcity exists. Therefore, produced potatoes or other farm yields frequently lack selling or go uneaten but unsold at unfair prices, squandering. Electricity, gear upkeep, or inability to modernize due to cost hurdles have challenged me significantly.
