Cold storage helps maintain garlic’s freshness, flavor, and quality for several months by slowing down sprouting, dehydration, and spoilage. It ensures that farmers, traders, and exporters can preserve garlic for longer durations and sell it when market prices are favorable.
Garlic is best stored at a temperature of 0°C to –1°C with a relative humidity of around 65–70%. These conditions keep garlic firm, prevent sprouting, and minimize weight loss.
Under proper conditions, garlic can be stored for 6–8 months without significant loss of quality.
* Prevents sprouting and decay
* Reduces weight loss due to moisture evaporation
* Maintains natural flavor, color, and aroma
* Extends storage life and improves marketability
* Enables year-round supply and better price realization
