anyone know about storing tomatoes?

[Katie Cresswell-Maynard]

Hello!

 

Qasid Safir is a researcher looking at the project known as the ‘Desert Fridge’ in his spare time.

The idea is that the fridge is a way for rural farmers to store their goods and keep them fresh for the journey to market – thereby allowing them to benefit from selling their goods at a higher price.  What Qasid and his team would like to get advice on is regarding the cold storage of tomatoes. They understand that the optimum temperature range is from 14-21oC and relative humidity is 90-95% but they need to know the allowable daily/seasonal variation within this range.

(see http://desert-fridge-research.blogspot.com/ for more information).

 

If you can help, please contact Qasid directly using Qasid...@ewb-uk.org .

 

Thank you.
