Storage & Raw Material Management¶
Potato storage is a critical link in the year-round supply chain for potato flake and powder manufacturing. Properly managed storage facilities maintain raw material quality for 8-10 months post-harvest, enabling consistent production regardless of growing season. Key storage challenges include sprout inhibition, reducing sugar accumulation (low-temperature sweetening), humidity control, and disease prevention. Hongji Agriculture's storage infrastructure combines controlled atmosphere technology, real-time monitoring systems, and evidence-based reconditioning protocols to ensure stable raw material quality throughout the storage season.
Potato Storage Specifications¶
| Storage Parameter | Fresh Storage (<4 weeks) | Long-Term Storage (4-40 weeks) |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature Range | 12-15°C | 4-8°C (reconditioned before processing) |
| Relative Humidity | 90-95% | 85-90% |
| CO₂ Concentration | <3000 ppm | <3000 ppm |
| Ventilation Rate | 0.1-0.2 m³/h per tonne | 0.05-0.1 m³/h per tonne |
| Sprout Inhibition | Not required | CIPC (chlorpropham) or alternative |
