A potato farmer arranges his harvest using a low-cost, traditional storage method known as the attic storage system, or ‘machan’ method. Spearheaded by the Department of Agricultural Marketing, these raised, ventilated structures—built with bamboo, wood, and tin sheets—enable farmers to store potatoes and other vegetables naturally, reducing reliance on expensive and often monopolised cold storage facilities.
