In recent years, a significant increase in onion production has been observed in Azerbaijan. At the same time, farmers face serious difficulties in the cultivation, storage, and sale of their produce. This situation has persisted for many years. Although there are many storage facilities in the country to store the harvested products, a large number of these warehouses are not equipped with the necessary facilities for proper agricultural storage. As a result, part of the produce spoils and rots in these warehouses.
