Kia ora, I’m Lumi. Having worked closely with many agricultural and produce businesses across New Zealand, I’ve seen how vital the right storage and transport solutions can be. Increasingly, farmers and growers are turning to collapsible crates to improve efficiency and reduce waste.
Let’s take a closer look at how these crates are transforming the industry.
Simplifying Harvest and Storage
Harvest season can be hectic, and efficient handling of produce is essential.
Collapsible crates help by:
Providing sturdy, protective storage for fruits, vegetables, and other crops.
Saving space when empty by folding flat.
Allowing easy stacking to maximise vehicle and storage space.
This flexibility helps reduce handling time and minimises damage to delicate produce.
Reducing Transport Costs
For growers and distributors, transportation efficiency is a top priority. Collapsible crates can significantly reduce costs by taking up less space when empty.
Advantages include:
Lower return transport costs.
Reduced need for bulky, single-use packaging.
Faster loading and unloading times.
Meeting Sustainability Goals
Today’s agricultural businesses are also focused on reducing their environmental impact.
Collapsible crates contribute by:
Minimising waste with reusable materials.
Reducing fuel use through efficient transport.
Offering long-term cost savings by reducing the need for replacements.
Collapsible crates are helping NZ’s agriculture and produce sectors operate more efficiently, sustainably, and cost-effectively. If you’re looking for dependable solutions, check out IFP Group’s range and see how collapsible crates can benefit your business today.
