What we record
Most directories carry a name and a phone number. Every field below is one a buyer asks before sending a truck, and each is attributed to where it came from.
Capacity in MT
And how it splits across chambers, which decides whether one crop can be emptied without disturbing another.
Storage type
Bag, bulk or box. No other directory records it, and it is what processing buyers now ask first.
Temperature range
A potato store at 2–4 °C is not a frozen store, and the two sit together in every other listing.
Commodities handled
Potato is not apple is not pharma. A store that has never held your crop is not the one to hold it first.
Power backup
Genset capacity in kVA. A cold store without backup is a risk a buyer should price.
Source
Which register each figure came from. We do not ring these stores, so we do not pretend to have.

What to ask a cold store before you send a truck
Nine questions that decide whether your crop comes out in the condition it went in.
Where this data comes from
Public records, mostly — state horticulture registers, the national horticulture board, and the state cold storage associations. We do not verify these entries. Nobody here has rung the stores, so every listing says where its figures came from, and the person who can correct one is the owner. How this register is built →
