In much of the developing world, postharvest losses are as high as 80% and the cold‐storage chain is virtually non‐existent due to the high cost of equipment and spotty electricity. Because fresh produce can perish in a matter of days under ambient temperatures, temperature control alone can extend the shelf life by weeks or even months.
Quickly lowering produce temperature after harvest extends shelf life by reducing metabolic activity and microbial growth.
Market prices rise and fall drastically. Farmers who can store produce longer can take advantage of better prices.
