Publications and research to help you store your crop
Sutton Bridge was the centre for levy-funded storage research and knowledge exchange until 2021. The work was designed to support the industry’s transition from CIPC to storage using alternative solutions. Other work included management of blemish diseases for better quality in the fresh sector, improved processing quality, energy use and carbon footprinting.
