Most carrot suppliers lose 15-30% of their stock within 3 weeks due to spoilage. But with the RIGHT cold storage solution, you can lock in peak freshness for 8+ months – without nutrient loss, shrinkage, or wasted capital.

UPFRONT INVESTMENT vs. LONG-TERM SAVINGS
(Real numbers from our clients in the EU & US)
- Cost to Install a Commercial Carrot Cold Room (100-ton capacity):
18,500−30,000 USD (includes precision temp/humidity controls + O₂/CO₂ monitoring) - Monthly Operating Cost (per 100 tons): 400−600 USD (energy + maintenance)
- ROI Timeline: < 5 months (vs. traditional storage)
HOW MUCH CAN YOU STORE? (Capacity That Scales)
| Cold Room Size | Carrot Capacity (Packed in Crates) | Max Storage Duration | Revenue Potential (at $450/ton) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Module (30m²) | 35-40 tons | 8+ months | 20,000 |
| Mid-Scale (60m²) | 75-85 tons | 8+ months | 39,000 |
| Full Warehouse (150m²+) | 200+ tons | 8+ months | $90,000+ |
✅ Critical Note: This isn’t theory. Our systems maintain 0.5°C ±0.3°C and 92% RH – the only conditions proven to prevent sprouting, rot, and moisture loss.
WHY GLOBAL BUYERS CHOOSE THIS (BEYOND “8 MONTHS”):
- No More “Dry, Rubbery Carrots” → Humidity control = crisp, juicy carrots at sale (retailers pay 22% premium).
- Zero Nutrient Degradation → Full vitamin retention = meets EU organic standards & avoids costly rejections.Flexible
- Harvest Scheduling → Store spring harvest → sell in winter at 3x peak-season prices.
- No Hidden Costs → Pre-cooling uses 100% passive cooling (no extra energy). Your biggest cost? The carrots themselves.
YOUR ACTION PLAN (For Immediate Profit Protection)
- Calculate your waste cost: (Current tons sold/month) x (% spoilage) x ($/ton) = Your monthly bleed.
- Compare to storage ROI: Our clients break even in < 5 months – even at 50% capacity.
- Demand these specs from suppliers:
-
- Temp stability: ±0.5°C (not “0-1°C”)
- Humidity: 90-95% with active monitoring
- Gas control: O₂ 1-2%, CO₂ 2-4% (mandatory for 8-month shelf life)
“We saved $227,000 in Year 1 after switching. The cold room paid for itself by October.”
