Title: Anyone use those ventilated crates for fresh produce storage in this heat?
Post by: jannymanny on July 03, 2026, 02:49:16 AM
I'm helping a friend set up a small fruit and vegetable distribution business in Al Awir and we're trying to figure out the best storage solution for keeping things fresh without breaking the bank. The humidity here is brutal and we've already had issues with produce getting moldy and spoiling way too fast in the solid plastic containers we were using initially. Someone at the wholesale market recommended we switch to ventilated crates so air can circulate and moisture doesn't get trapped, which makes a lot of sense to me. I was browsing online and came across https://www.crateco.ae/productlist/ventilated-crates and they seem to have a good range of sizes, but I'm not sure which ones would work best for our needs. We're handling everything from leafy greens that need really good airflow to heavier items like melons and watermelons that need more structural support. I'm also curious about how these hold up when they're stacked several layers high, because we're trying to maximize our limited space and I don't want them collapsing under the weight. Has anyone here used these types of crates for a similar business and found them effective? I'd really appreciate some honest feedback before we invest in a big order.
