Postharvest conditions for greenhouse produce vary by product, maturity, packaging and buyer requirements. Base shipping decisions on measured product and route data.
Record harvest conditions. Note product type, harvest time, crate ID and initial measurement position. Compare dispatch and arrival records using the same method.
Verify the waiting arrangement
Log shaded waiting, loading order and vehicle arrival time. If the buyer or grower requires pre-cooling, use the product instruction and verify the result.
| Stage | Record |
|---|---|
| Harvest | Product, lot, time |
| Waiting | Place and duration |
| Loading | Crate and sensor position |
| Arrival | Product reading and packaging |
Clarify buyer acceptance
Get acceptance criteria for firmness, appearance or leaves from the buyer specification. Match photos to lot and shipment records.
Measure small-greenhouse capacity
Record daily harvest volume, crate sizes and waiting time. Compare portable containers with cold space against this profile; use quotes and measurements to assess investment.
Plan off-season use separately. Before reusing a container for seedlings, flowers or seed, verify each product's packing, cleaning and transport instructions. Shared space does not mean shared acceptance conditions.
