What is a cold store?
Fruit cold storage is a warehouse for storing fruits and vegetables that are kept at a low temperature such as minus 18 degrees Celsius. These cold stores are used to store agricultural and horticultural produce and provide availability of out-of-season fruits and vegetables. In addition, fruit cold storage can be used as a temporary storage place for products that are going to be sold in stores and supermarkets. In general, fruit cold storage facilities are very important due to the possibility of prolonging the useful life of agricultural and horticultural products.
Renting a fruit cold storage is one of the ways used by farmers and fruit and vegetable business owners to keep their products at the right temperature and improve the useful life of the product. There are usually two ways to rent fruit cold storage. One is that farmers and owners of businesses related to their fruits and vegetables rent the cold storage directly and are responsible for the maintenance and management of the cold storage themselves. The second method is to go to the companies that offer fruit and vegetable cold storage and rent the cold storage from them. In this way, rental companies usually provide services such as maintenance, transportation, packaging and providing other related services.
The cost of renting a fruit cold storage depends on the size and capacity of the cold storage, the rental period and the services provided by the leasing company. In some cases, rental companies can also offer special contracts with farmers and fruit and vegetable business owners to rent cold storage under certain conditions as a way to reduce rental costs.
Duration of cold room rental
The cold storage rental period depends on the conditions and agreements between the leasing company and the customer. This period of time can be determined based on different customer needs, the duration of the crop growing season, the amount of products that must be stored, and the amount of cold storage units that are available.
The rental period of the cold room may be several months to several years. In some cases, rental companies can agree with their customers to use the cold storage on an annual or periodic basis. Also, some companies can rent cold storage for a short period of time, such as a few days or a few weeks, for temporary storage of products.
The most important thing about cold storage rental periods is that customers should carefully consider their needs before entering into rental agreements in order to make the best decision. On the other hand, rental companies should also determine the appropriate period for cold storage rental according to the needs of their customers.
What kind of goods can be stored in a cold storage?
Cold rooms are suitable for storing all kinds of goods that need to maintain a certain temperature. Some of the goods that are usually kept in cold storage are:
- Fruits and vegetables: some fruits and vegetables such as apples, cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelons, etc. should be kept at a low temperature to increase their useful life.
- Food: Some foods such as meat, fish, nuts, bread, sugar and milk should be kept at a low temperature to prevent spoilage.
- Medicines: Some medicines also need to be stored at a low temperature to prevent deformation and spoilage.
- Chemical products: some chemical products such as paints and resins should be kept at a low temperature to avoid changing their properties.
- Other products: In addition to the above, some other products such as flowers, mineral water and soft drinks can also be stored in cold storage.
The most important thing about the storage of materials in the cold storage is that the temperature, humidity and other conditions suitable for each type of product should be determined in order to prevent spoilage and spoilage.
