Freshness & Cold Chain Management
Proper temperature and humidity management is important to maintain the quality of fresh French beans during storage and export transit. Recommended conditions can vary depending on variety, maturity, packaging, handling, transit duration, and destination requirements.
| Parameter | Recommendation |
| Harvesting | Fresh pods selected at suitable maturity |
| Sorting & Grading | Removal of damaged produce and grading according to agreed specifications |
| Storage Temperature | Technical postharvest guidance for green/snap beans commonly recommends approximately 5°C to 7.5°C, subject to product condition and supply-chain requirements |
| Relative Humidity | High relative humidity, commonly around 95% to 100%, with suitable ventilation and condensation management |
| Packaging | Suitable ventilated export packaging according to shipment and buyer requirements |
| Transportation | Refrigerated reefer containers, air freight, or other controlled logistics where commercially and technically suitable |
Prolonged exposure to excessively low temperatures can cause chilling injury. Final storage and transportation conditions should therefore be planned according to variety, maturity, packaging, transit duration, and destination requirements.
