The main aim of this work was to study the effect of storage system (traditional, ventilated and cold) and package type on the quality of okra during storage. The results indicated that, the total accumulated weight loss increases with increasing the storage period. Storage system had a great effect on the losses, where, the traditional storage system recorded was 86.00 % compared with 84.37 and 68.68 % for the okra stored in the ventilated and cold systems. The okra stored without packages recorded the highest accumulated weight loss (86.00%) when stored at traditional storage system while the lowest accumulated weight losses (33.03%) for the okra stored in the clothes packages when stored in the cold storage. The highest value of moisture loss was recorded by the okra pods stored without packages, while the lowest value of moisture loss was recorded for the okra stored in without packages. The ash, protein, nitrogen and fat composition were increased with increasing storage period for different storge system and package types, while, the fiber composition was decreased with increasing storage period for the same conditions.
