Abstract
The quality of potato, and its storage life, is reduced by the loss of moisture, decay and physiological breakdown. These deteriorations are directly related to storage temperature, relative humidity, air circulation and gas composition. Potatoes being a living organism require an effective management for storage. Many studies have been carried to investigate the suitability of various storage systems for safe storage of potatoes. In this study, the knowledge about volcanic tuff storages used in potato storage in Nigde and Nevsehir regions in Turkey, does not have an example in the world has been given. These storages have not any cooling and heating equipment. Hence, potato storage in these warehouses brings an important cost advantage for companies. In Turkey, many commercial companies wishing to benefit from this cost advantage prefer to volcanic tuff storages for the storage of potatoes. There are over two thousand volcanic tuff storage formed for this purpose in the region.
