Seasonal production and price patterns for poatoes in developing countries have generated considerable interest in alternative market outlets for the crops. In India there is particular interest in low-cost alternative to refrigerated cold storage. This paper reviews the experience of a non-governmental organization (NGO) in trying to develop village-level potato processing for low-income households. Results to date highlight the technical complexity of rustic processing. They also point to the need for a multi-disciplinary approaches to assess the economic viability of technical processing options, alternative postproduction techniques (e.g. storage), and the importance of particular cost components.
