Abstract
The purpose of crop storage ranges from the avoidance of starvation between one harvest and the next to the lucrative supply of delicate fruits out of season or geographically not otherwise obtainable. The fabric of storage can be as simple as a hole in the ground or as complex as a refrigerated force-ventilated building. The choice depends very largely on the economics of the produce but the problems, and the measures adopted to overcome them, are similar in principle.
