A technique in which the gas composition of the atmosphere inside a Reefer container is modified and maintained at a constant during transit. By default, the atmosphere in the container will be equivalent to that of our atmosphere (78 % Nitrogen, 21 % Oxygen, 1 % Argon). Modifying the nature of the air in the container (specifically CO2 and O2 levels) significantly slows down the ripening process of fresh produce and lengthens the storage period.<br/><br/>
