In order to provide quality storage facilities for the surplus production of potato and vegetable farmers as well as traders of the mid-eastern region of the country, BRAC Cold Storage started its operations at Daudkandi, Cumilla in 1984. It facilitates the storage of potatoes for farmers who yielded a good harvest of potatoes but lacked adequate storage facilities. It was launched, with the objective of providing better maintenance and quality of stored products. BRAC Cold Storage set up operations beside the Dhaka-Chittagong Highway at Daudkandi, Cumilla because of its easy accessibility by land and water.
