In some places, fruits or vegetables can only rot in the ground because they can't be shipped out, and some are sold at close range. Due to the relative concentration of local products, supply exceeds demand, and the market price is very low. Especially with the improvement of living standards in cities and towns, people have higher and higher requirements for agricultural products in safety, freshness and many other aspects. However, due to the characteristics of China's agricultural products, relatively scattered production and marketing, and relatively weak post-harvest processing technology of agricultural products, the requirements for agricultural products logistics are relatively high.

To achieve "not rotten in peak season and not weak in off season", we must apply storage and preservation technology to create an external environment suitable for fruit and vegetable preservation, inhibit the activity and reproduction of microorganisms, and adjust the physiological activities of fruits themselves, thus reducing rot, delaying maturity and maintaining the freshness and quality of fruits and vegetables.

Fruits and vegetables are still alive after harvest, with high water content, rich nutrition and poor tissue protection, and are vulnerable to mechanical damage and microbial infection.

Belongs to perishable goods. In order to store fresh fruits and vegetables well, besides the necessary commercial treatment after harvest, we must also have suitable storage facilities, and create suitable storage environment conditions according to the physiological characteristics of fruits and vegetables after harvest, so as to minimize the metabolism of fruits and vegetables without causing physiological disorders, thereby reducing the material consumption of fruits and vegetables, delaying the process of ripening and aging, and prolonging the life and shelf life after harvest; Effectively prevent the growth and reproduction of microorganisms and avoid the decay and deterioration of fruits and vegetables due to impregnation.

Therefore, it is our first consideration to choose storage methods and facilities and keep proper temperature and humidity or gas composition in the storage environment.
