Inter Agra highlights the long-term benefits of wooden pallet boxes for potato storage

Inter Agra has highlighted the advantages of wooden pallet boxes for potato storage, comparing them with plastic alternatives through a series of common myths and facts. The company outlines the characteristics of its wooden storage boxes, including ventilation, durability, repairability and suitability for potato storage. 
 

Myth 1: Plastic provides better ventilation

FACT: Wood "breathes" and naturally regulates humidity. In plastic boxes, water often condenses on the walls and drips onto the tubers, leading to rot. Softwood acts as a natural climate buffer – it absorbs excess moisture from the storage room and releases it when the air becomes too dry.

Myth 2: Wood promotes diseases and is harder to clean

FACT: Professional processing and disinfection guarantee full safety. The smooth structure of planed and milled wood from Inter Agra facilities prevents dirt from accumulating. The natural antibacterial properties of wood, combined with standard cleaning procedures, minimize the risk of pathogens practically to zero. 
 

Myth 3: Plastics are more durable

FACT: Wood is cheaper to maintain, fully repairable, and its expected lifespan is 15 years or more. A cracked plastic box is usually a useless, expensive-to-dispose-of waste. Inter Agra wooden boxes are extremely durable, and in the event of mechanical damage, replacing a single board costs a minimal percentage of the entire container's value – fully in the spirit of zero waste. Thanks to this possibility of cheap regeneration, the expected lifespan of wooden boxes is 15 years, and often even more.
