Banana cold storage in India
Banana is the crop that a potato store will ruin: below about 13 °C it suffers chilling injury within hours to days. It needs its own chamber held at 13–14 °C, and ripening needs ethylene for 24–48 hours in a dedicated ripening room, a different facility from a cold store.

Common questions
- At what temperature are bananas stored?
- Green bananas are held at 13–14 °C and 90–95% humidity. Below about 13 °C they suffer chilling injury, so a potato or apple chamber at 0–4 °C will spoil them.
- What is a banana ripening chamber?
- A room where green bananas are exposed to ethylene for 24–48 hours at 14–18 °C, then held while colour develops. It is a separate facility from a holding cold store; ask for it by name.
