Plastic vegetable transport crate is the worldwide acceptable packaging container for fresh farm produce, especially perishables such as tomatoes, peppers, onions, cucumber, etc., particularly for long-distance travel. Its advantages over the raffia/traditional basket in the reduction of post-harvest losses are huge. It is estimated that about 40% of post-harvest losses are attributable to these poor packaging and handling practices, with the use of these plastic vegetable transport crates you reduce your post-harvest loss during transit in tomatoes by 5%. The plastics are also designed to sit on one another rather than sit on the contents of the crates beneath. Some are designed to sit in one another when empty thereby reducing the space required to convey the crates for reuse. This will result in increased income/ revenue for the farmers.
