In this research, it is studied whether an abandoned tunnel can be used for a warehouse to keep rice. Today's agricultural industry especially rice farming in our nation is put in the bad condition such as not sufficient man power, not enough capital and so on, and moreover dose not have competitive power as well-known against products from other nations through FTA. But there are many ways to increase competitive power we can guess. Development of technique to keep quality of the agricultural product by controlled atmosphere is one of the reasonable ways.
From these backgrounds, it has been studied whether an abandoned tunnel is suitable for rice as storage place or not. In the result, the inner condition of the abandoned tunnel was measured that temperature is 15℃ in average and relative humidity is 55% in average and it is therefore found that to use an abandoned tunnel as a place to storage rice is reasonable in the consideration of thermal and cost-saving aspect.
