Onions are a major part of the vegetables that are found in most kitchens. It is an important ingredient in Indian dishes and adds more to their taste. India being an agricultural country and the second largest cultivator of onions with a production of 31.7 million metric tons (FY2022), we mainly face price fluctuations due to loss of this cultivated yield. This problem arises due to poor storage conditions and exposure to extreme climatic conditions. The traditional storage techniques have failed to eliminate these losses of the crop after harvesting. These losses occur due to loss of moisture in the bulbs due to extreme temperature or due to exposure to very humid conditions leading to sprouting. We mainly focus to improve the storage conditions by the use of modern technology and help reduce crop loss. Warehouse storage conditions such as temperature and humidity are monitored and controlled with an automated algorithm when they exceed beyond the favorable conditions required for storing onions for a long time. We have introduced the concept of Internet of Things (IOT) to monitor and control the conditions by using sensors and actuators to match the ideal ones. Also, various data related to the stock like the warehouse temperature, humidity, amount of stock will also be stored on the cloud server and can be retrieved for real-time analysis. Thus, this makes an integral part of the decision-making process for the stakeholders to import or export the stock and also plays a major role in the distribution process. This entire model is designed specially to harness the maximum out of the cultivated yield of onions and help them keeping stored for a longer time and reduce the crop loss.
