According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), roughly one-third of all food produced globally for human consumption is lost or wasted. A key factor in mitigating this waste is cold storage, which provides the ideal environment for keeping perishable items fresh and is the primary reason why fruits preserved in cold storage last longer. This process slows down the natural decay that begins as soon as a fruit is harvested.
