Abstract

See full text

A container for ripening of fruit during storage and shipment has a first portion defining vertically oriented first side surfaces and a second portion defining vertically oriented second side surfaces, the planes of the first side surfaces being offset from planes of the second side surfaces. The container is adapted to be stacked in a pallet load with other of the containers, with adjacent first side surfaces of adjacent containers in engagement for stable stacking of the containers, and adjacent second side surfaces of adjacent containers spaced apart in a manner to define a channel between the adjacent containers for circulation of ventilating air or gas to fruit contained within the containers and for removal of heat generated by respiration of the fruit.
