Abstract

Due to the inadequate capacity of onion storage in our country, we must build storage structures at the farmer’s level. This article is a small effort in that direction. Various types of onion storage structures discussed in this article are summarized from various sources and scientists. India is a region that depends on the agricultural sector. As per the report of the Financial Express in 2018, the contribution of the agriculture sector to GDP is 17–18%. Also, it provides employment to nearly 50% of the population. Despite all these facts, farmers are facing many problems on the fronts of infrastructure and technology. There are many prospects in the agronomy field for the implementation of technologies to store the last amount of onion in good condition. So, it requires a proper storage system. Various researchers are working in this area to develop designs and fabrications that are adoptable by farmers. Proper onion storage gives good results in the long term. This article reviews the proposed technologies and modifications made to them by various technocrats and researchers in the onion storage systems. This design of storage systems gives better results in the good condition of the onions, which gives better results in the quality of the onions.
