Cold Storage Integration for Onion & Potato Traders

Mastering the Cold Storage Game

For traders dealing in semi-perishables like Onions, Potatoes, and Apples, cold storage isn't just a facility—it's a financial strategy. You buy when prices are low, store, and release when supply drops.

The Challenges of Cold Storage Management

Managing inventory across multiple cold storage facilities presents unique accounting nightmares:

• Weight Shrinkage: A 50kg bag of onions will lose weight over 4 months due to moisture loss. Your software must account for this shrinkage without breaking the financial ledger.
• Storage Rent (Bhada): Cold storages charge rent per bag/per month. This cost must be dynamically added to the landing cost of your inventory to calculate true profit.
• Lot Tracking: You must know exactly which farmer's lot is in which chamber of the cold storage to track quality.
