CA Container · U.S. pilot spring 2027

Weeks of freshness, in one container.

A 40-ft container that pre-cools, stores, and transports fresh produce in one unit, under one atmosphere. It sits on the farm, needs no construction, and can be moved. Our U.S. pilot in spring 2027 will test it.

Why it matters

What it solves for a farm.

Longer storage

Published research shows controlled atmosphere extends strawberry shelf life 2–4× over ordinary cold storage.

Better prices

Farms can hold produce and sell when prices recover, not on the day they pick.

Buy or lease

Buy the unit, or lease it by the season. Monitoring and inventory software runs on top.

How it works

Load once at the field. The atmosphere never breaks.

01

Pick

Fruit is harvested as usual.

02

Load beside the block

The unit sits at the edge of the field.

03

Pre-cool in the unit

Field heat comes out on site.

04

Hold in controlled atmosphere

Low oxygen and cold slow ripening.

05

Sell or ship

Sell when the price is right, or ship in the same unit.

Todaya grower pays separately for each step: precool, handling & loading, and storage & cross docking. With Kynetic, it's one unit and one atmosphere.

Inside: ultra-low oxygen control, field pre-cooling, gas-tight panels, and IoT monitoring.

Cool, store, ship, power.

Lowers oxygen to slow ripening

With less oxygen the fruit “breathes” more slowly, so it ripens and rots more slowly. Humidity stays high so it doesn't dry out.

Oxygen (tested): 4.5%
Humidity (tested): 92.8%

Compared to the market

Today's options each solve one piece.

By category, from each category's published product literature (September 2026 review). None of these companies has any relationship with Kynetic.

Key facts

The short version.

Size	Standard 40-ft shipping container (20-ft also available)
Holds	About 18 tonnes of fruit
Keeps produce at	0–4 °C, low oxygen, high humidity
Moves by	Truck, rail, or ship
Power	Grid, or solar panels with batteries
Setup	Placed on any flat ground, running within hours

Looking down the length of an empty CA container: insulated walls, white ceiling, and an aluminum T-bar floor.

Independently tested

It did what it's designed to do.

In March 2026 an independent national testing lab in China tested a production unit. It met every requirement.
