Type of product developed by Agriculture and AgriFood Canada and a private company, IPL Inc., to better transport perishables products from the farm to the market. M. Vigneault and Jean-Pierre Emond were the researchers at Ag Canada for this project. It is the result of 2 years of research and 2 other years of development with IPL and IPL researcher Claude Lessard, to obtain a final satisfying product. This type of crate has become the North American standard since 2011 to transport such products from the farm to the market and is now being used for other products also.

Function

To transport fresh products from the farm to the market.

Technical
