Abstract
This article presents an economic feasibility study of storage potential for stabilizing potato prices and/or supplies in Ecuador, where the high potato price variability creates hardship for both consumers and producers. The measured variation between the low potato prices of May, June, and July and the rising post-harvest prices in September, October, and November is statistically significant. Potato storage costs associated with a low-cost forced night-air storage facility designed in Colombia are used to analyze potential storage profits, based upon a maximum allowable storage period of four months.
