Tasbulk was recently approached by an agricultural business with a unique request: to provide refrigerated containers for trialing the storage of seed potatoes. Their objective was to keep bulk loads of seed potatoes dormant for an extended period under constant temperature and humidity control. We were excited to take on this project and support their innovative agricultural practices.
The Challenge: Controlled Storage for Seed Potatoes
Storing seed potatoes for extended periods requires precise temperature and humidity control to keep the potatoes dormant and in optimal condition. The agricultural business needed a reliable solution that could maintain these conditions consistently, ensuring the quality and viability of the seed potatoes.

The Solution: 20ft Reefer Containers
To meet the needs of the agricultural business, we provided a couple of our 20ft reefer containers. These containers were equipped with easy-open personal access doors, ensuring convenient and secure access while maintaining the necessary climate control.
