CA storage is a method that controls temperature, humidity, and gases such as oxygen and nitrogen in the air to suppress the aging of agricultural products and maintain the taste and freshness as much as possible at the time of harvest. Due to its reasonable price and higher freshness and crisp texture compared to regular stored apples, customer demand is high. Lotte Mart has been offering CA stored apples since 2018 and has sold out 500 to 600 tons annually.

A Lotte Mart representative said, “We prepared CA stored apples harvested last fall, maintaining the freshness and taste at that time, at a reasonable price for the first shipment,” and added, “We plan to continuously introduce CA stored fruits and vegetables from the Lotte Fresh Quality Innovation Center to reduce the burden on customers’ shopping baskets in the future.”
