Fruit and berry storages in Estonia.Situation and perspectives
Fruit storages in Estonia. • Situation. • Majority of fruit storages have built 1960-1980 is amortizised. • - amortizised cooling system • - unsufficiant insulation • Lack of capability to invest to renew technology
Losses. • Losses during storage period 6-40 %. • Quick reduction of quality . • Short storage period and shelf life. • Low competitivity.
