🥔 From Cold Storage to Your Plate: The Journey of Potatoes at Chepani Cold Store, Alipurduar
Have you ever wondered how the humble potato travels from the farm to your kitchen table?
At Chepani Cold Store in Alipurduar, this journey is a fascinating story of preservation, hard work, and dedication.
Freshly harvested potatoes are stored in controlled cold chambers. This keeps them fresh, prevents sprouting, and maintains quality for months — ensuring a stable supply throughout the year.
👨🌾 Step 2: Careful Handling & Drying
When the time comes, male workers unload the potatoes from the cold chambers. They are spread out and dried under shade with fans overnight, maintaining their natural texture and freshness.
👩🌾 Step 3: Sorting & Packing
Female workers skillfully sort the potatoes, selecting only the best quality for the market. Each potato is checked, packed, and placed into strong jute sacks.
⚖ Step 4: Weighing & Sewing
Every sack is carefully measured to a perfect 50 kg. Skilled hands sew and seal the sacks securely, ensuring safe transport.
🚛 Step 5: Ready for Market
Finally, the sacks are loaded onto trucks, beginning their journey to markets near and far. From there, the potatoes make their way into local shops, households, and ultimately — onto your plate.
🌍 More Than Just Storage
This process isn’t only about preserving potatoes. It represents the collective effort of farmers, laborers, and communities who form the backbone of our food system. Every potato carries a story of resilience, teamwork, and sustainability.
