While it is stated in the print media and by experts that vegetable wastage (such as Onions) can be reduced by utilizing cold storage, the traders in the chennai whole sale market that I spoke to state that
a) the products put in cold storage lack the taste of a fresh produce
b) quickly perishable as soon as it is taken out of the cold storage and brought to the wholesale market
c) Appearance - Black dots appear (as in the case of onions and few other fruits) on the skin of the product.
Therefor the traders state that the products in cold storage will not fetch a good price.
Experts, please let me know your thoughts. Also , please state the minimum viable capacity for a cold storage for onions
